With the sun shining down on Centenary Square this is one of the most fun places you can be in midsummer Birmingham. We speak from past experience. A gloriously chilled out atmosphere, enjoy an amazing array of food and drink with some great live music giving a real holiday vibe. Pick of the live music is Steel Pulse’s Gabbidon and there will also be an appearance from Mr Reggae Reggae sauce himself, Levi Roots. We’ll be at the back drinking cocktails out of a mango with a straw while shovelling down rice and peas. Bring it!

Fri 29 Jul – Sun 31 Jul, Centenary Square, Birmingham 11am – 9pm daily, Free. www.birminghamcaribbeanfestival.org/
