After the incredible energy of our debut year, Porty Festival is back — and it’s going to be even bigger, brighter, and bolder!
From live music by the sea to local makers’ markets, including a young makers market, creative workshops, community events, the much loved dog competition, vintage clothing pop up, street food, family fun, and that unbeatable Porty atmosphere — this May bank holiday weekend is all about celebrating art, community, and seaside spirit.
Whether you’re here for the tunes, the treats, or just a good old wander along the prom, Porty Festival 2026 promises another unforgettable weekend filled with creativity, connection, and coastal magic!
Mànran, one of Scotland’s most exciting and influential bands, will headline the Saturday evening stage at Porty Festival on Saturday 2nd May!
