Task 5. Reading. Read the text and do the true/false task. The River Lights Festival is one of the most popular celebrations in the town of Fairford. It takes place every September near the river and lasts for two days.

There are also food stalls with traditional dishes and sweet treats. This year, the organisers are making the festival bigger. They have already invited two music groups and several dancers.
