This week our Culture Radar guest is Director, Zest Event Management, Nicole Konigs Balfry.
Loved: As an event manager, I love a spectacle and I try to get to as many events (for R&D purposes!) as I can. A highlight in May was Bring the Fire Project’s Fire Gala at the Bombed Out Church, which was utterly mesmerising.
Looking forward to: I’m gutted that one of my favourite festivals in Liverpool’s events calendar Africa Oyé, is not taking place in 2025. For consolation, my friends and I have got tickets to see Black Uhuru at Future Yard later this month.
Trivia: I’m born and bred Swiss and have been living up my continental roots since January, working with the European diaspora communities at Liverpool European Festival. You can dip into European culture and heritage all through June, please visit liverpooleuropeanfestival.co.uk for the festival events.
