Last year's On The Water programme made some serious waves 😎 and we want to make an even bigger SPLASH for 2025...

We saw so many of Bristol's nautical communities floating down the harbour...and let's not forget about James Prestwood's iconic YMCA flyboarding routine!😂

We all know that Bristol's independent food scene is next level, so come and bring it to the Harbour Festival 😍

We're looking for everything from street food to artisan market to keep the city fuelled up as BHF takes over the harbourside.

Celebrating 40 years on the harbour, @theklabristol once again proved why they are one of the best in the business🚢
From their legendary top-deck silent disco, to the vibrant Thekla Cargo Stage and Thekla Dock Stage 🎶

The heart of the Harbour Festival will always be the floating harbour, and I think we can all agree that the On The Water spectacle was an absolute SPLASH 💦⛵🛶🛥️🚢🚣😍

[Bristol Harbour Fest @BristolHarbFest]

Express yourself 🎭🎧🎤

A new addition to the Bristol Harbour Festival and we loved it! With a superb silent disco, inspiring panels, moving spoken word and sensational jazz and blue!

Whether you were on stage or in the crowds, thank you for swinging (and dancing) by!

We were head over heels watching the mind-bending scenes at Family Playground on College Green… and so were the performers 👀

From @cirquebijou presenting world-class circus performers and contortionists, to pirates and puppet workshops and @PartyPeepsBris' iconic foam parties!

Mega thanks to @TrinityBristol and @Movema for programming such an amazing and diverse line-up of dance groups and troupes across the weekend, Mirandra Rae for the South West Soundsystem for bringing non-stop anthems, and to #BootyBass for the next-level takeover. It was🔥🔥🔥

We still can't get over how INCREDIBLE the Bristol Harbour Festival 🤩

Queen Square was home to the Dance Tent, which gave us endless energy, dazzling sparkles and beats that kept us dancing all night long 🌟💃🪭🪩🩰
