St Ives Carnival and Music Festival

St Ives Carnival & Music Festival 2026 returns on 11th and 12th July for a fantastic free weekend of music, food and community celebration.

Taking place in the heart of St Ives, this two-day event brings together residents, visitors, local businesses and community groups for a vibrant and welcoming festival atmosphere. Across the weekend, you can enjoy live entertainment, browse a variety of local and independent stalls, and sample delicious food from a range of vendors.

Proudly run by volunteers and supported by local sponsorship, the festival is a true community event. Its aim is simple: to celebrate St Ives, support local businesses, and create an inclusive event that everyone can enjoy.

Join us for a weekend full of music, flavour and community spirit, and be part of the celebration.
