It’s the 17th Sea Ilfracombe Maritime Festival in 2026. We are a FREE family festival with live music, food & entertainment – Sat 5th and Sun 6th September, where 17 bands and entertainers will be performing over 3 venues at Ropery Road, Ilfracombe in North Devon.

We’ve got something for EVERYONE and it’s ALL FREE – from Ska to Soul, Rock to Pop, Gaelic swag to sweet vocal harmonies, and of course… a hearty dose of sea-soaked Shanty.

This community festival continues to grow year after year, attracting local, national, and international visitors to enjoy the best local live music, food & drink and a host of family entertainment.
