Penarth Summer Festival

Penarth’s popular Summer Festival and Downhill Derby is set to return this year on Saturday the 16th of  July.  

The event, hosted along the famous seaside esplanade, will feature live music, refreshments, and the thrills of the Downhill Derby. Organised by Penarth Town Council, the Summer festival is taking place between 12pm and 8pm and is free to attend.

The Summer Festival has been a feature in Penarth since the 1960’s and has taken various forms over the years. With the addition of the Downhill Derby to proceedings in 2010, the Festival has been the highlight of the summer for many residents and visitors.
