Bristol City Centre BID and Redcliffe & Temple BID are thrilled to support this year’s Bristol Harbour Festival, one of the UK’s biggest free-to-attend events. Bristol Harbour Festival attracts around 250,000 people across the long weekend with their unique celebration of Bristol’s rich maritime, musical, and cultural heritage.

Taking place from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 July, Bristol Harbour Festival will be curated, produced and delivered by international events production agency, Proud Events, in partnership with immersive theatre and events company, Swans Events.

2025’s festival promises to be another unforgettable year. Experience the best of Bristol’s emerging artists as well as established and international performers across all genres with three days of back-to-back entertainment alongside some proper maritime magic with their on-the-water programme.

First acts now announced! The Longest Johns, The Allergies, Bloco B, Eternal Taal and Gnawa Blues All Stars will be taking the Harbour View main stage at the Amphitheatre this summer.

Plus, a festival icon returns for 2025 – The Tall Ship is back! The Galeón Andalucía will sail into Bristol on Thursday 17th July, docking in the harbour for the whole weekend.
