Following the resounding success of SummerFest 2023, Weymouth and Portland Round Table is delighted to announce that the one-day family fun festival will return on Saturday 8th June.
Visitors to SummerFest 2024 can look forward to a packed day of fun things to see and do for the whole family including fairground attractions, live music, donkey rides, food and drink vendors, independent traders, demonstrations from the Combat Lab, performances by the Twirl Academy, and so much more!
SummerFest 2024 boasts a bumper line-up of local musical talent including Speedway Snails, Modern Disciples, The Undecided, Hustle and Chill, as well as DJ sets throughout the day.
Held once again at Redlands Leisure and Community Park, gates open 10 am with the event concluding at 10 pm with a spectacular firework display.
Excited to be putting on the festival, Chair of Weymouth and Portland Round Table, Jason Frampton said:
“SummerFest 2024 is shaping up to be Weymouth’s biggest event of the Summer!
“Our one-day festival is designed for all ages, so please do bring your family along for a packed day of live music, fairground rides, performances from local groups, delicious food and drink, and so much more!
“By enjoying a day out at SummerFest 2024, you will be supporting two life-saving organisations in Dorset.”
The team are pleased to announce that the chosen charity benefactor for SummerFest 2024 is Weymouth Life Boat Station, a vital community institution that has been saving lives at sea for over a century.
Weymouth RNLI Fundraising Team Chair, Teresa Drage said:
“I am very happy that The Weymouth and Portland Round Table have chosen Weymouth Life Boat Station as their chosen charity for SummerFest 2024.
“Weymouth is one of the busiest lifeboat stations in the country, covering 1330 square miles of sea.
“The RNLI relies entirely on donations to save lives at sea and to have the Round Table’s support is a real boost.”
Generous donations from visitors to SummerFest 2023 made it possible for the Weymouth and Portland Round Table to present a cheque to the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance for £13,000.
