The festival was launched way back in 1977 and has become one of St Ives’ biggest annual events, luring art, music and culture lovers from all over the globe. It has grown to host over 300 events over the two weeks and the events are held in inspiring venues across the town, from art studios and galleries to beaches, cafés, pubs and clubs. 

This festival takes careful planning and if you are interested in sitting on the committee, or, you may be interested in the events industry and want to help out as a marshall during the festival then you should contact the committee at your earliest convenience.
