Herne Bay Festival 2010


The Herne Bay Festival is a nine day celebration of Herne Bay’s vibrant community and beautiful coastline. From Saturday 21st to Sunday 29th August the town will be hosting just under 200 events in nine days, meaning there is something for everyone to enjoy, and almost everything is free! We can’t wait for another exciting year of entertainment, live music, and performances along the seafront!

The Festival is core funded and managed by Canterbury City Council, who work closely with the Herne Bay Festival Advisory Group which is made up of local residents and business owners. The Advisory Group support and develop the festival, as well as contribute a huge amount to ensure the events are a great success. We always welcome new members- get in touch if you'd like to be involved.
