Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival 2014

Friday, 13 June, 2014 - Sunday, 15 June, 2014

The Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival was founded in 2003 by Falmouth Shout, a group of singers whose mission is to keep alive the history of Tall Ships and the days of sail by performing sea shanties, songs of the sea and Cornish songs. The Festival’s aims are to raise money for the RNLI and to preserve and promote the maritime heritage of the area.
Described as the largest free festival of maritime music on the planet, the three day event kicks off on the Friday evening with singing on Custom House Quay and in Events Square, continuing at several other venues in town until late! It’s a great way to soak up the true atmosphere of Falmouth’s seafaring past and you’ll find it hard to stop your feet tapping along to the infectious rhythms.
Directions: By road: take A39 to Falmouth and follow signs for Town Centre. For Park & Ride/Float service to Discovery Quay (Maritime Museum) take A39 and follow signs.
