2018 Fambridge River Festival
The annual Fambridge River Festival, a celebration of all things Maritime on the East Coast, will be held on Sunday 26th August with a range of classic, historic and traditional boats opening their hatches to the public.
The free event, organised by Fambridge Yacht Haven on the River Crouch, is now in its fourth year with visitors expected to top 1,000 for the first time.
Participants already confirmed for the 2018 festival include the historic Dunkirk Little Ship Motor Torpedo Boat 102 that was involved in the famous “Operation Dynamo”, Thames Sailing Barge Ironsides from 1900, and the beautiful 31ft Gravesend Bawley, Marigold. In addition to the rally of boats, the festival includes fun for all the family with games, a treasure hunt and the famous charity “Rubber Duck Race”. Plus, a variety of marine exhibitions, demonstrations and visits from marine emergency services.
A new addition for 2018 will be the addition of a Street Food Village serving food from around the world with a bar and live music.
Any Individuals or organisations with vessels of interest who wish to attend will welcome free berthing for the August holiday weekend.
