Oktoberfest at Bembridge Harbour
There is a new event to be held at the Duver Marina on 23 September, to coincide with the Bembridge Harbour Food Festival weekend and Isle of Wight Day.
Taking inspiration from the tradition of German beer festivals, this Oktoberfest will have a distinctly island flavour, featuring locally produced and sourced food, beers and ales. There will be live music from local band Folklore from 6pm. Tickets will be available from the Harbour website from April.
Other events taking place at Duver this year include Jazz on the Quay, featuring old-time gypsy jazz from Cat Skelington, followed by traditional jazz from Island favourites The Unity Stomper, on 10 June.
Bembridge Harbour Family Fun Weekend takes place over 28 – 30 July. Now in its fifth year, it will include regulars like the great Bembridge paper boat race, beach games, crabbing and best decorated boat competitions and a harbour fireworks display.
