It’s been incredible, but it had to come to an end sometime. Yep, the lights are off in the Olympic Stadium (for now), and Stratford has officially been handed back to the residents.

So what better way to celebrate than with the Rediscover Stratford festival – an amazing cultural and mostly free extravaganza of all things great in the area – sponsored by yours truly at East Village, amongst others.

The festival is going on for the next few months, so be sure to check the website to see what tickles your fancy.

In the meantime, check out some of September’s events. An East Village made out of Lego? Yes please!

Oh, and check out the Stratford app!
