Mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees said: \u201cThe Harbour Festival is one of the highlights of our internationally renowned cultural programme and the biggest showcase of Bristol culture and heritage there is. Year on year the festival provides inspiration and entertainment for communities across the city as well as the thousands who travel huge distances to take in its sights and sounds. Those experiences are only made possible with the participation of the many performers, stall holders and exhibitors that keep the festival\u2019s cultural heart beating each year. I urge anyone who is interested in being part of the festival programme in 2018 to make contact with the organisers and help us make this year\u2019s festival the biggest and most inclusive yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The family festival features miles of waterfront entertainment in the heart of Bristol, including music, circus, theatre, dance and on-the-water displays.<\/p>\n
