EVERYONE KNOWS that the Olympic Games are scheduled to start from 27 July and end on 12 August 2012. Let’s not talk about the Games for now, which are going to be of topmost quality, no doubt. Hence, let us focus on things that would be considered to be very important for the people of England. Here, London Cultural Olympiad 2012 would take the centre stage. It would be showcasing the traditions, cultures and arts in various forms during the event.
It is one of the largest cultural celebration as far as the modern Olympic and Paralympics are concerned, as stated in the official website of the London Olympic Games, 2012, london2012.com. Hence, the event is surely going to be a huge one, where people from all over the world would be able to witness their culture. It could be a big trailer for what is to come during the mega event, London Olympics, 2012.
Hence, the Olympiad would be giving a chance for each and everyone to become a part of this mega festival. The festival has been taking place since the year 2008. Around 16 million people from the UK have taken part in it, where 8,300 workshops also have been conducted so as to make the festival a grand one, as stated in the official website of the Games. It has become a great hit among the masses and is expected to find more success in the upcoming days.
For those people who would love to be a part of this festival, they still have some major events that they can watch. These events can be found in different categories, such as arts, culture, music, dance, opera, literary event etc. So, one could choose according to his liking. Some events that are lined up in the coming days or months, as 100 portraits by Lucian Freud would be on display from 9 February 2012 to 27 May 2012. London's British Museum would also showcase the world and works of William Shakespeare 19 July 2012 to 25 November 2012.
Another mega event would be the Big Dance 2012 across various venues in London, which would entertain everyone. Radio 1's Hackney Weekend 2012 would go on from 23 June 2012 to 24 June 2012, which might be one of the biggest free music festivals in London, as per the information on a website, visitlondon.com. Not all of these events could be watched free of charge, but there are also some events which are free.
So, London is gearing up for the games with such kind of activities. Tourists travelling across the length and the breadth of the globe would be expecting the Games to be of even higher standards.
