00:00This weekend is Bristol Harbour Festival, opening on Friday night at 6pm. We'll keep

00:10going all the way until Sunday at 6pm. So pretty two and a half days full on for celebration

00:16of Bristol's heritage and maritime history.

00:20And what can we expect from this year's Harbour Festival?

00:26We have got quite a few tricks up our sleeve for this year's Bristol Harbour Festival.

00:31We have planned a live music main stage and the amphitheatre, which has got some amazing

00:38and exciting glossary challenge for all international artists. And we've been working with Global

00:44Look All and Screen Peace to bring some very, very high calibre and exciting acts.

00:51We'd also have a more relaxed talk tent in Millennium Square, which will obviously also

00:57include loads of food and drinks, like a more chill-out area. And then we've got a couple

01:05more exciting spaces. One will be a green square with a dance tent and a Bristol Rising

01:11Stage, which is our young talent live music stage. And we also have College Green, our

01:18dedicated family playground with the wonderful circus acts and loads and loads of hands-on

01:25workshops and free activities for all families to get involved.

01:28So why do you think the Bristol Harbour Festival has become so iconic to Bristol?

01:34Bristol Harbour Festival has become such a big, iconic flagship event for Bristol. For

01:42various reasons, I think one of them being the largest free festival to attend in the city,

01:48especially to this day, something like, you know, something to look forward to,

01:52that it's free and everyone can take part to, is definitely key.

01:56But also it has become something iconic.
