Bristol Harbour Festival returns this summer with the first event since 2019. And this year marks the 50th anniversary of the celebration.
Organised by Bristol City Council, the festival attracts over 250,000 visitors to enjoy over 120 hours of entertainment, across seven stages. Covering a mile of the harbourside, events include spoken word, local dance performers, world-class circus and on-water activity.
This year, the festival celebrates its 50th anniversary on July 15-17 with an inclusive programme showcasing community collaborations and emerging and established creative voices. The theme ‘ebb and flow’ will look at the changing face of the city and the transformation of the harbour over the last half a century.
