The World Famous with Terrafolk: Full Circle (2010)
The first event at the first IF was a massive free event heralding a transition from winter to spring to summer.
With its Campbell Park setting, large crowd and musicians playing inside flower-like pods to a backdrop of lights, intriguing pyrotechics and fireworks, this set the scene and theme for a part of what IF would become and continues to deliver some 15 years later.
As the first page of the programme revealed:
“The challenge of launching a brand new international festival is not for the faint-hearted, but in Milton Keynes anything is possible and magical things can - and do - happen.
Our vision is to create 10 extraordinary days that will use the city as a stage and showcase incredible artists and events that will surprise and delight, creating life-long memories for you to cherish and share”
