Derby Festé is officially back for 2026!
On Saturday 26th September, Derby city centre is transforming into a massive, vibrant playground of free outdoor arts, circus, dance and music. We’ve got everything from interactive walkabout dogs and roller-skating choreography to trumpet players performing high above the crowds. 🎷
The fun kicks off at 11.30am across Derby Market Place, Cathedral Green, Market Hall and Osnabruck Square. Plus, this year the party extends into the evening, so you can experience Festé after dark for a massive Saturday night spectacle you won't want to miss. 🌙
It’s completely FREE and family-friendly. Many of the performances are non-verbal or feature BSL, making it accessible for everyone.
Derby Festé is proudly presented by Derby City Council with project grant support from Arts Council England National Lottery funding, and supported by Fabric and Derby Theatre.
