GoFolkestone Festival

Throughout the day, you’ll see the creative energy that runs through Folkestone – from musicians and performers to artists, small businesses, and community groups. It’s a chance to discover familiar faces and new favourites, and to experience the town as it really is: vibrant, generous, and full of character.

Families are especially welcome. There’ll be plenty to keep little ones entertained, alongside opportunities for adults to catch up with friends, meet new people, and soak up the atmosphere.

A Weekend of Celebration

Taking place during one of Folkestone’s most energetic summer weekends, the Go Folkestone Anniversary Festival adds another layer to the town’s celebrations – offering a distinctly community-focused space where everyone is invited.

Come for an hour or stay all day. Bring friends, bring family, bring curiosity. Wander, watch, eat, listen, and enjoy the simple pleasure of being somewhere that feels alive with connection.
