Fleetwood Food, Fish and Music Festival
Fleetwood is the historic Lancashire coastal town renowned for its proud maritime and fishing heritage. It’s set to launch an exciting new free flagship event: Fleetwood’s Food, Fish and Music Festival, taking place from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 August 2026.
Enjoy more than 200 stalls at Fleetwood Market, a bustling Continental Market and Food Village on Adelaide Street, Silcock’s Giant Funfair on Custom House Lane Car Park, live music on the Adelaide Street Main Stage, community activities and the Heritage Village on Victoria Street.
The festival officially opens on Friday 14 August with the Mayor of Wyre, Councillor Steven Nicholls attending the opening ceremony, followed by the return of Fleetwood’s historic Fish Queen or King Competition. Last held in 1939, this cherished Fleetwood tradition will bring a beloved piece of local history back to life. Primary school-aged children are invited to join a colourful sea-themed fancy dress parade, before the Mayor crowns the lucky winner.
A special highlight of the weekend is the CJ Jackson Seafood Theatre, featuring live cooking demonstrations celebrating Fleetwood’s fishing heritage on Friday and Saturday.
Adding to the atmosphere, Coastal Radio will be on stage throughout the weekend.
This brand-new three-day summer festival will celebrate Fleetwood’s coastal identity and honour its fishing past.
