Nottingham's largest family festival is free and offers live world and roots music, street theatre, children's arts as well as fairground attractions and food stalls.

The three day event, from Friday 31 July to Sunday 2 August, is held at Victoria Embankment, along the banks of the River Trent adjacent to Trent Bridge.

Highlights include fireworks over the River Trent on the Saturday night and the Dragon Boat Challenge followed by the annual duck race on the Sunday.

BBC at Riverside Festival

The BBC will also be present at the Riverside Festival.

On the Saturday BBC Nottingham will be offering you the chance to meet and chat with the presenters of BBC East Midlands Today, Dominic Heale and Kylie Pentelow.

You can have a go at sports commentary, following the help and advice of BBC Radio Nottingham's Chris Ellis and BBC East Midlands Today's Ross Fletcher.

And if you're feeling brave enough you can step in front of the BBC cameras, do a 'live' news report or present the weather, guided by weather presenter Sally Pepper.

Alternatively, take a tour of the BBC East Midlands Today's satellite truck with one of our operators or be shown around the BBC Radio Nottingham's radio car.

If that stresses you out too much - don't worry. You can always visit the BBC Headroom tent. This is a place to unwind your mind, where you can take part in activities to help you deal with life's ups and downs.
