Free events ‘to cater for everyone’ at music festival

SCREENINGS of the ever-popular Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and High School Musical are among the highlights of a programme of free events during next week’s Waterford International Festival of Music.

The 2010 festival includes the city’s 50th Waterford International Festival of Light Opera, a Gospel Festival, a High School Music Festival, a Fringe Festival and other special music events, all culminating in an Oscar-style finale gala evening hosted by RTÉ’s Maura Derrane.

Organisers announced a programme of free events, including two showings of children’s favourite Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Saturday, November 6, and High School Musical on November 13, both at The Granary.
