Festivals Events in London — Your Complete Guide
London's festivals calendar is one of the highlights of the city's cultural year, transforming parks, streets, public squares and indoor venues into vibrant spaces of communal celebration. The city's festival programme covers music, food, film, literature, arts, culture, heritage and sport — there's something to mark almost every season.
Summer brings the largest outdoor festivals to London, with multi-day events drawing tens of thousands of visitors from across the region and beyond. Music festivals in particular have deep roots in the city, and the annual programme of headline festivals now ranks among the most anticipated events in the UK's cultural calendar.
But London's festival scene isn't only about headline names. Community festivals celebrating the city's diverse cultures — Caribbean carnivals, South Asian food festivals, Chinese New Year celebrations, African arts festivals — are among the most joyful and authentic experiences the city offers. Many are free to attend and genuinely open to all.
Planning a festival visit in London: buy tickets early for the most popular events as they frequently sell out months in advance; check travel options carefully as major festivals often lead to road closures and increased public transport demand; bring layers as British summer weather is unpredictable; and allocate more time than you think you'll need — the best festival experiences are rarely rushed.
