Festivals

Portsmouth plays host to a number of festivals throughout the year, celebrating live music, art and culture in the city.

Victorious Festival welcomes thousands of revellers to Southsea Common every year, with some of the biggest names in music taking to the stage for the August bank holiday weekend.

We also have PortsFest – a programme of cultural events that includes book readings, talks, live music, interactive events and loads more besides. And let’s not forget Southsea Food Festival, where dishes from all over the world are crammed into Palmerston Road and its surrounds for a true fiesta of great tastes.

This section is where you’ll find all the information on these events and more, as well as ticketing details and line up announcements.
