The fun-packed event will celebrate the completion of the improvements that are rejuvenating the High Street and Dunstable by creating a more traditional town centre.
Residents and businesses wanted their High Street to be more attractive and a safer experience, reducing the sense of vehicles dominating the road. They wanted a café culture with more greenery and wider pavements making the town safer for pedestrians to move around. This is what the council has done through the £7million High Street improvement scheme.
Cllr Ian Dalgarno, Executive Member for Communities, said: “We have made Dunstable High Street a more attractive experience. Our work will help entice more visitors and investors, support business and jobs, and see Dunstable continue to be a great place to live and work. We are investing in the future of Dunstable.

The scheme was funded by Homes England, National Highways, SEMLEP, the Local Growth Fund, and Anglian Water.
