The streets of Twickenham will come alive with the arts thanks to a £600,000 grant from Arts Council England's strategic touring fund.
The Streets, a two-year programme of touring music and arts will animate the high street throughout the summer.
Working with creative producers Serious, the project also aims to increase the profile of high streets in Wandsworth, Kingston, Croydon, Redbridge and Waltham Forest.
Richmond Council cabinet member for art and culture Councillor Meena Bond said: "Richmond has such an amazingly rich seam of arts and culture.
"I am delighted that this funding will go a long way to ensuring that our festivals really showcase to residents and visitors alike that we really know how to celebrate our arts."
The Streets will hit Twickenham this year and next.
