Waterfront Festival 2024

1. Waterfront Festival 2024

Saturday 6th July | Canalhouse | 12pm - 11.59pm | Tickets: £8

It's back, bigger, better and wetter than ever, the Waterfront Festival is Nottingham’s favourite live band benefit festival. It all kicks off at mid-day for 12 whole hours of music with DJs, performance artists and stalls from local traders topping off the experience.

The Waterfront Festival is a big Notts-centric party designed to showcase the best this fair city has to offer, while raising money for some great local causes to boot.

As usual all profits go to charity. This event often sells out so booking advance tickets is recommended. They can be purchased from Canalhouse or by using the website link on the event page.
