Bristol harbour at night for Bristol Harbour Festival

Bristol Harbour Festival takes place on the 19th of July. Celebrated annually around this time, this vibrant festival is a highlight of Bristol’s cultural calendar, transforming the city’s historic harbour into a hub of entertainment, music, and maritime activities. The festival attracts thousands of visitors who come to enjoy the eclectic mix of performances, food, and festivities along the waterfront.

The Bristol Harbour Festival was first held in 1971 to celebrate the city’s maritime heritage and the revitalisation of its floating harbour. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest free festivals in the UK, showcasing a diverse range of music, dance, arts, and water-based activities. The festival features stages with live performances from local and international artists, street theatre, circus acts, markets, and a variety of food and drink stalls. Visitors can also enjoy maritime displays, including tall ships, boats, and demonstrations by the sea cadets.
