This year we celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the Old Gaffers Association

 

Without the Old Gaffers Association this Festival would not exist.

 

Every year it provides the beautiful boats that make up the picturesque backdrop to the stalls, street entertainers, musicians and everyone else who is here to entertain you, our guests.

On Friday and Saturday evenings we bring top class musical entertainment to you in the big marquee on the quayside.  Click here to see who's top of the bill!

During the Festival, Yarmouth's picturesque harbour will be filled with life and colour with more than 100 visiting traditional sailing, steam and motor vessels, including the cream of the Old Gaffers fleet.  On shore there will be a huge range of attractions keeping the thousands of visitors entertained from morning til night all weekend.  Click here to see pictures from past Festivals.
