A torrential downpour didn't dampen the community spirit at this year's Crouch End Festival.
The volunteer-run three day event included a street market and music in Weston Park, and a day of family fun in Stationers Park.
There was also an art exhibition, comedy and animation workshops at Hornsey Library, a concert in Holy Innocents Church, a two day music festival at St Mary's Tower, and close harmony singing on the Parkland Walk.
Heavy rain on Saturday meant that organisers had to cancel the open air Ghostbusters screening, but the programme of schools performances, dance, music, and a clown entertainer, went ahead as planned.
"The shows goes on! Despite the weather, everyone kept going," said organising committee member Chris Arnold.
"The Hornsey Girls Steel Pans, dressed in raincoats, played Here Comes the Sun in utter defiance to the weather as the water drops bounced off their drums. Far from dampening people’s spirits, everyone had great time.
"Alas, we had to cancel the open air cinema, but we’ll reschedule to another date."
Now in its 12th year, the festival is among the biggest arts event of its kind in the capital.
Former local councillor and the Ham&High's roving photographer for the festival, David Winskill said: "The festival was extraordinary – really well attended at all venues and a great showcase for so much of Haringey’s talent. It was a real pity that the storm came at midday but they managed to keep things going."
Funds for the festival are raised through sponsorship, with many of the activities free of charge.
