Event details

Get ready for a fantastic weekend by the water as the Littlehampton Harbour Waterfront Festival returns. This year's festival is proudly supported for the first time by Rampion2, marking an exciting new relationship between Littlehampton Harbour and the evolving offshore energy industry. Thanks to Rampion2's generous support, we are able to deliver another fantastic festival showcasing everything Littlehampton Harbour has to offer.

Throughout the weekend visitors will be able to enjoy watersports displays, the return of some of the historic Dunkirk "Little Ships" and other visiting vessels. While along the riverfront, local businesses, community groups and organisations will be showcasing what they have to offer. There will be a lively programme of entertainment featuring traditional Morris dancers, the Sea Cadet Band and local sea shanty singers.

We look forward to seeing you!
