The International Sea Shanty Festival
Sea shanties may have been created in the South West but they are a global phenomenon now. With Falmouth’s maritime history, there’s no better place to host a festival of this kind. One weekend in June, shanty singers from all over the world gathers to celebrate this traditional style of singing. It’s a wonderful atmosphere with friendly, enthusiastic crowds gathering around the Quayside and Square where the stages are set.
Falmouth Week is held every August and is a major attraction for locals and visitors alike. With its origins in a local sailing regatta dating back to 1837, the Week has evolved into not only a major sailing competition in the SW but also an opportunity for sailors and landlubbers to enjoy the many daytime and evening attractions in the town.
This festival takes place every October and, as you might imagine, is to celebrate the oyster. You’ll be able to try oysters of every description and with every accompaniment. Events take place in and around Falmouth’s Events Square and include cooking demonstrations, live much, arts and crafts stalls.
