In one weekend (28th July) we had the Clipper Round the World Yacht race ships to visit, the Spurn Lightship was open, stalls around the marina and small boat races, a huge blow up bubble with performers in, a flute player suspended over Princes Quay in another blow-up balloon and a celebration of African and African Caribbean culture as part of the Wilberforce 2007 events took place in Queen's Gardens called Sankofa Sunsplash.
