Taking place on 30 August, Liberty, which has become a showcase of deaf and disabled artists over the last decade, will bring an eclectic line-up of live music, street theatre, dance, film and activities for children and families.
It will be one of the highlights of a day of sporting and cultural activities taking place in the park to mark National Paralympic Day, presented by the Mayor of London, the London Legacy Development Corporation and the British Paralympic Association. It builds on the success of last year's event, which attracted thousands of people to the park, and the legacy of the London 2012 Games, which were acclaimed for raising the profile of disabled athletes and artists on an international stage.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson, said: "London is home to some of the finest deaf and disabled artists and performers in the world and this year's Liberty has something to appeal to everyone. With Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park now transformed and fully open, National Paralympic Day will be even better than last year's successful event."
This year's Liberty line-up includes the integrated dance company Moxie Brawl, who will be evoking the spirit of the 1940s; Deaf Men Dancing, whose duet, Nettle Dance, takes its inspiration from artists Gilbert and George; singer Ren Harvieu, acclaimed for her top-five album Through the Night; a special digital music-making experience from Heart n Soul; and 'The Gift', an immersive sound installation from Jez Colborne and Mind the Gap.
As well as the Liberty festival, visitors to the park will enjoy a variety of sporting action to both watch and to take part in. Exactly two years to the day since Great Britain won its first medals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, sporting superstars, including ten Paralympic GB medallists, will return to the water at the London Aquatics Centre for two sessions of racing.
There will also be top athletes from the three Paralympic sports of boccia, goalball and wheelchair basketball, who will be in action at the Copper Box Arena.
