One of the biggest free festivals is set to return to Victoria Embankment for the first time in two years following Covid restrictions. The Riverside Festival will take place from Friday, August 5 to Sunday, August 7 with bands, street food and more.
The festival has attracted over 250,000 visitors in the past with similar numbers expected to attend this year's celebrations. The festival offers a wide variety of fun including fairground rides, games, and attractions - all located along the banks of the Trent. There will also be a number of street food and drink vendors there for treats and snacks.
One of the highlights of the festival is the evening firework display which lights up the sky much to the delight of visitors. Crowds of up to 40,000 people are expected to line the Trent to watch them take place. This year will see two nights of fireworks instead of one including Friday night as well as Saturday night at 10:30 pm.
