Aberdeen's Festival of the Sea, which focuses of Aberdeen's maritime heritage, will take place from 15 - 28 July 2024.
The festival will be a celebration of the history, traditions and relationship between Aberdeen and the sea, and the importance of this to surrounding communities.
It creates a family-friendly opportunity for the city to come together to celebrate, and will mark one year to go until Aberdeen welcomes the Tall Ships Race in July 2025. During the festival, three Tall Ships will visit the city’s harbour.
Aberdeen is known as a city of the sea with deep-rooted connections to its maritime and marine past. By embracing the city’s rich maritime history, as well as highlighting further points of interest across the city, this will demonstrate the pride that the city has in its heritage, values and community.
