2013 Programme
This year the festival is adopting an overarching theme of Creatures of the Deep. Expect a bursting programme with 9 days of events and activities, with two weekends packed with live music, street theatre, performances, workshops, competitions, parades and fireworks.
On the opening weekend discover a world of underwater wonders with street theatre popping up in unexpected places! A fabulous Creatures of the Deep lantern parade swims its way from Lane End to the Clock Tower, with a myriad of coastal critters including crabs, cuttlefish, squid, sharks and much more! The parade leads to The Big Burn on the beach giving us a roasting fiery finale. Lantern making workshops will be available in the run up to the festival…. Look out for details coming in the summer….
On the closing weekend expect to see established festival favourites like the Monster Crab Catching Competition alongside Herne Bay Live, a jazz, swing and blues event at the clock tower and more fishy street theatre. The Giant Picnic will be spread out in the sunshine (hopefully!) of Memorial Park, and fantastic fireworks will top off the Saturday night in traditional festival style.
