Fal River Festival

Join in the celebrations with the Truro & Penwith College Fal River Festival.

The 2012 festival will take place in Cornwall's most popular visitor destination from Friday, June 1 to Sunday, June 10.

This fantastic 10 day festival is a not-for-profit community festival which encompasses over 150 events varying from music & drama, the arts & heritage to gig racing, swimming, walking & lots more.

The festival was established in 2006 and will be running for its 7th year in 2012. It's a chance to embrace the places, people, history, culture, sport & industry that are connected by this very Cornish river.

With its diverse mix of events taking place at dozens of locations around the Fal River, the festival offers something for everyone and is the perfect opportunity to engage with life on the river and discover some of its fascinating history.

Last year more than 100,000 people attended a range of different events helping raise a whopping £75,000 for charity while enjoying 3,000 pints of ale, larger and cider!

Events lined up for this year include the Fal River Walk, Castle to Castle Swim, Fal Fish Festival, the award-winning Film on the Fal and the opening Beer Fleet Parade.
