Welcome to Bristol
Harbour Festival 2009

Following a hugely successful festival in 2008, we’re thrilled to present another weekend of breathtaking music, dance and circus performances for everyone to enjoy. Taking place in the heart of the city, Bristol Harbour Festival is a spectacular showcase of the South West’s buzzing music and arts scene and a huge celebration of the extraordinary cultural diversity to be found in our region.

As ever, from the world of music and drama, you’ll find big Bristol names and local rising stars rubbing shoulders with thrilling circus performers and internationally renowned dance companies. There’ll be a dedicated children’s area, historical ships and boats, fireworks, market stalls and more.

And best of all, it’s free!
