The Wye Valley River Festival is back! Along with the spring, to bring Magic, Merriment and a little Mayhem to Monmouth on Saturday 2nd of May.
Gather with us at St Marys Priory Church churchyard (11am) for our vibrant much-loved procession, winding down Monmouth High Street from 11:30am, bringing colour, imagination and Spring spirit through the town. Expect spectacle, music and surprises as artists, locals and community groups come together.
The parade arrives at Drybridge Park (opposite Bridges Community Centre) for a full day of entertainment (12-5pm); shows, workshops, song, music, exhibitions, delicious food and hopefully some sunshine too.
Come along, play and be part of a Wye Valley River Festival 2026.
It’s a family-friendly, inspiring, celebratory day and the site is accessible to all.
Everyone is welcome – and we’ve managed to keep it completely FREE so no need to prebook, just come along and join the festivities.
