The four-day event at Shibden Park runs until Sunday (Aug 16).
It has been organised to mark 100 years of Shibden Park being a public park and will bring together world-class performers and local talent.
Gardens have also been created in the park as part of the ‘Seeds of Hope’ – spreading joy and positive messages to those attending the events.
There is something for the whole family from CBeebies’ Mr Bloom to Laughter at the Lake – a stand up comedy event.
Take a look through our gallery as preparations got under way earlier this week.
