THANK YOU!
Festival of the Sea 2025 was a huge success! For the fifth year running, it brought together the people of Grimsby and surrounding areas to celebrate art, culture, heritage, and community spirit, while honouring Grimsby’s proud seafaring past and its future by the sea.
Festival of the Sea was Highly Commended at the 2025 Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland Tourism Excellence Awards as "Festival of the Year".

With a community-led programme of live music, arts and crafts, workshops, cooking demo, water activities and walkabout acts, this one-day FREE event showcases an exceptional array of local and national talent.
Produced by Swans Events on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council, this project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
