Falmouth Food Festival
May 22nd to 25th 2026
The Falmouth Food Festival is not your average food event. It’s a lively combination of locally sourced food, refreshing beverages, captivating music, and inspiring art, all set against the stunning backdrop of Falmouth’s picturesque harbour. Over three exciting days, we invite you to explore the rich culinary scene of Falmouth, meet local artisans, sway to the rhythm of live music, and immerse yourself in an array of art installations.
Falmoth Sea Shanty Festival
June 12th to 14th 2026
Falmouth has a proud and long history as a first safe port of call for deepwater sailing ships. It was here that sailors filled our waterside alehouses with their songs and it is here that those shanties and stories are kept alive to this day. If you listen very carefully as you walk along our seventeenth-century quays you can still hear them singing!
Falmouth Oyster Festival
October 8th to 11th
Devoted to the mighty mollusc, Falmouth Oyster Festival is one of Cornwall’s biggest and most-loved specialist food events. 2026 will mark the 28th Anniversary of the festival so please come along and join us to celebrate the native Fal Oyster and diversity of Cornish seafood with four days of feasting and festivities.
