Underwater Sea Disco Kicks Off City’s Eurovision Party
AS the City gears up for the biggest Eurovision takeover a host City has ever staged, more details have been unveiled about a very special event which will kick-start Liverpool’s celebrations.
'The Blue and Yellow Submarine Parade' will take over the City Centre on Friday, 5 May 2023, and will see an underwater sea disco come to life on the city streets as a new magical world called Aquatopia is created. Featuring a glitterball puffer fish, a drumming octopus, a crew of skating jellyfish, voguing Sea Queens plus many more creatures of the sea and of course a blue and yellow submarine. The parade will start at:- 6pm, at Williamson Square, and will travel in a loop along Whitechapel,, up Church Street, and along Basnett Street. It will head back to Williamson Square at approximately:- 7.45pm, for an epic finale moment. Members of the public are encouraged to follow the Parade and are urged to embrace the theme and dress in underwater fancy dress as well! Inspired by the United By Music theme and symbolising partnership and community, hundreds of performers, musicians and community groups will be involved including LGBTQ+ groups, dance companies, asylum seekers, as well as local organisations such as:- Katumba and Movema. As with all the host city events, there is significant Ukrainian involvement with the submarine doubling as a stage for a newly formed band made up of star vocalist Sofia Pavlichenko (front woman of Freedom Jazz), Bozhena Hamar (Ukrainian ethnic flute virtuoso) and Liverpool's Dogshow brothers Sam and Laurie Crombie performing euro classics in an ethno Ukraine techno mashup. The event has been produced by the Invisible Wind Factory and Kazimier Productions as art of EuroFestival and is 1 of 24 new commissions taking over the City as part of Eurovision.
