Battle Youth Street Theatre, a group of young local performers mentored by local theatre group Inside Out, will perform their own piece of street theatre.
The day is rounded off by the Hastings Voice Squad, an unconventional choir, with a medley of songs you might recognise.
Mandy Curtis said: “Saturday is the last event for Streets of Battle 2016, but we hope to be back in 2017 with more fantastic street arts.”
