Dover Harbour Festival

Join the Port of Dover for a weekend extravaganza of relaxation, adventure and world-class culture at the Dover Harbour Festival 2026. Bigger and more action-packed than ever, it’s a summer event not to be missed.

Previously named the Dover Regatta, which has been running for 13 years as a port event, the Harbour Festival marks a new and exciting era for the town.

With a vibrant and dynamic waterfront welcoming locals, international guests, and visitors from across the UK, a convenient position on the high-speed rail link from London, plus more re-development to come as part of the Port’s journey to 2050, Dover is becoming a leading coastal hotspot.
