It has been announced that the Dover Music Festival will take place on Saturday 26th August this year, highlighting a variety of musical acts during the day and evening. Celebrating its fifth year, the Port of Dover Community Regatta will follow on Sunday 27 August 2017, along Dover’s award-winning esplanade.
Tim Waggott, the Port’s Chief Executive, said: "We're planning another fabulous free weekend for the Dover Festival again this year. Together with our partners from the Dover Music Festival, we are committed to putting Dover firmly on the map as a popular family entertainment destination. These events are a great opportunity for the Port and community to come together and celebrate music, our shared maritime history and what we hope will be a glorious summer."
Roger Marsden, Dover Music Festival Director: "We're delighted to be hosting the Dover Music Festival from Dover’s unique and historic Cruise Terminal One again this year. We want to build on the success of our first collaboration with the Port last year, and will be confirming this year’s acts soon."
