This event is over – it has already taken place. This page remains available for reference.

One of Bristol's largest free annual celebrations, filling the historic harbourside with live music, street performance, circus, dance and maritime displays. Visiting vessels line the water while stages, food stalls and family activities spread across Millennium Square, Queen Square and the surrounding quays. The festival traces its roots to the 1970s and draws large crowds over a single July weekend.
