Brunswick Festival Rocks Brighton with 42 Years of Music and Merriment
The Brunswick Festival hit Brighton & Hove with a bang on August 17-18, 2024, celebrating its 42nd year as the city’s iconic community bash.
World Beats and Local Stars Light Up the Stage
The weekend kicked off with a stirring performance from Ukrainian choir Kolo, setting a heartfelt tone. Then B’more McVowty’s World Music Express took over, blasting out tunes that united cultures and got the crowds dancing. Sunday didn’t disappoint — more local acts brought the beats and kept the party alive.
More Than Music: Food, Crafts & Community Spirit
But it wasn’t all about the music. Visitors roamed stalls filled with handmade crafts and savoured mouth-watering global food delights. The festival buzzed with friendly faces and shared smiles, proving it’s truly a celebration of the vibrant local community.
Festival Director Praises Volunteers and Diversity
“The Brunswick Festival isn’t just an event; it’s a joyous celebration of the diversity of our neighbourhood that creates a tapestry of memories woven by the community. Until next year, keep the rhythm alive!”
— Veronica Stephens, Festival Director
Stephens, who dedicates her free time year-round to organise the festival, thanked the army of local volunteers who make it all possible. The Brunswick Festival remains a beloved highlight in Brighton’s social calendar — and 2024 was no exception.
