Bristol Harbour Festival

Celebrate Bristol's rich heritage and musical roots with fun for everyone!

"Bristol Harbour Festival brings together every kind of entertainment imaginable at a festival in just a few days time, and the event is free! The festivities include music, dance, theatre, circus performances, family activities and even maritime events. Delicious food is also available throughout the festival. Bristol’s harbour was once a busy dock where sailors and merchants traded goods and set sail on adventures. Today it is a buzzing scene full of restaurants, bars and a host of activities. As you stroll around the harbour, you’ll come across some world-class attractions boasting fantastic culture including Brunel’s SS Great Britain, We The Curious, Bristol Aquarium, Arnolfini, Spike Island, Watershed and M Shed. If you prefer a relaxed day in Bristol, you can find a table at a waterside cafe and watch the boats and swans swim by."
