All money raised in this charity walk will help fund More Music’s projects, making positive changes for the community.

Catch the Wind Kite Festival returns to Morecambe Promenade on Saturday June 29 and Sunday June 30 from 12pm – 5pm on both days.

One of the top family events of the summer in Morecambe, it’s a festival that appeals to all ages.

The marvellous multi-coloured kites take to the sky whilst on the ground there’s a lively programme of music, performance, arts and craft workshops and more. It’s the perfect way to spend a weekend at the seaside.

On Saturday July 20, art rock ensemble Yama Warashi will perform, fronted by Zun Zun Egui’s Yoshino Shigihara. Inspired by Japenese folk dance, free jazz, tribal African music and heavily saturated in Psychedelia, Yama Warashi are lyrically outlandish and charming, melodically addictive and mythical.

Other community festivals include the West End Festival on Saturday July 13 and the West End Fun Palace later on in the year in October.
