If you thought the last street party was something special, then get ready because the force is strong with this one.
Following the overwhelming success of the first Street Life event, which drew over 4,000 visitors and filled Market Avenue with music, movie magic, street food and smiles, the team behind the community celebration are bringing it back bigger, louder, and more electrifying than ever before. Street Life: Episode II – Return of the Street Party lands on Saturday 23rd August 2025, and this time, it’s taking over Market Avenue, Warrington Street and beyond.
Far more than just a sequel, organisers are calling this a statement, a full-scale community takeover designed to reignite local pride and celebrate everything that makes Ashton-under-Lyne vibrant and unique.
"We’re back!! Bigger, louder, wilder and ready to take Ashton by storm once again!" say Make Ashton Great Again, the event organisers.
From 10am until late, visitors will be immersed in a sensory overload of entertainment, including: movie memorabilia, entertainers, live music, street food, drinks, cosplayers, children's entertainment, and special celebrity guest appearances.
The last street life on the 4th of July saw Darth Vader, Spencer Wilding and R2D2, Jimmy Vee, take to Market Avenue for fans of the brand to meet.
And in what promises to be a jaw-dropping centrepiece, organisers are teasing a massive prop build that will top July's towering scout walker replica.
This year’s edition sees the event footprint expanding, with Warrington Street, Wood Street and George Street now forming part of the action-packed zone. The added space means more room for performers, traders, and visitors alike.
Best of all? It’s completely free.
Organisers are putting out a call for performers, traders, creatives and volunteers to help make this year’s event even more unforgettable. If you’ve got a talent to showcase or a business to promote, you can get in touch via Facebook or email: info@tamesideofficial.co.uk.
