EskFest Theme Announcement!
As we roll into our 10th birthday year, we’re casting our minds back and asking you all to remember when you were 10 years old… what did you want to be when you grew up?!
From firefighters to footballers, astronauts to architects, and ballerinas to beekeepers, we want to see your dreams come to life at EskFest 2026!
The fancy dress parade will run on Saturday from 1pm 🕐 huge prizes to be won! 🏆

🌊 MORE MOTION IN THE OCEAN 🌟
It’s the sparkle in your sequins and the bass in your bones.
It’s four-legged festival goers rocking a bandana better than you ever could.
It’s glitter, grins and finding your people in the field.
It’s muddy hands at the pottery wheel and wide-eyed wonder in the kids' tent.
It’s hugs, heartbeats and the kind of memories you can’t plan for.
This is the motion that matters.
This is EskFest 2025.
