About

New Dover Harbour Festival

Dover's most popular and anticipated event returns to the Harbour, Marina and Seafront this July.

A highlight of the summer fun planned on Kent's coast, the Port of Dover Community Regatta is back with a new look for 2026, coming ashore for the first time this summer.  As well as some of the popular Regatta events there will also be onshore family-friendly activities, the chance to explore Dover’s rich heritage and history, and simply relax and admire iconic scenery and landmarks, the Dover Harbour Festival will bring this all together at the heart of our waterfront.

The two-day program celebrates Dover’s seafront and coastal community at its best.
