The festival week is built around the island’s ‘Summer of Fun in the Federation’ campaign, which surrounds the main concert nights as the centre of attraction while a number of fringe events follow. This includes a long list of beach parties, boat rides, culinary showcases, catamaran excursions and dance parties along with many other cultural immersions. It is best to follow the official pages of the event to take note of the other experiences offered at the island during the festival week.
