Oxford's official jester, Justin Time, practises tightrope walking before the Fun in the Parks season gets under way with a massive free party.
The event in South Park on Monday, sponsored by the Oxford Mail, is a revival of the 1970s and 1980s Mayfly events and thousands of visitors will be expected there. The Zodiac live music stage will feature bands including X-Hail, Goldrush, The Four Storeys, Autospy and local reggae favourites Dubwiser. Dance music fans will also be welcome at the Sonic dance tent.
South Park will be transformed into an entertainment centre with Hebron's fun fair, giant inflatable rides and a quad bike circuit. Risky in Pink is also running free circus workshops.
Anna Dolan, of the city council, said: "It's a great day out for all the family. There is lots to eat, see and do."
