The 2017 Great Yarmouth Maritime Festival is a fantastic free two-day event found on historic South Quay, Yarmouth.
There will be ships to visit, live shanty folk music, fun street theatre exhibitions and demonstrations for visitors to explore. The festival celebrates the town's maritime past, present and future. The festival is always a riot of colour with tall ships and supply vessels flying colourful bunting from their masts. Three different stages will host a huge variety of live folk music and sea shanty songs performed by bands from all over of the UK and Europe. There will be packed marquees with demonstrations and exhibitions, maritime related crafts and charity stalls. Try your hand at some traditional maritime skills on the demonstration stands. There will be street entertainment, face painting and fun children's activities.
