Dartmouth Music Festival
The 'unofficial' guide!
16-17-18 May 2008
The streets are alive with the sound of music …
Julie Andrews would have loved to be in Dartmouth on the second weekend
in May when the whole of this historic town in South Devon resounds to a
musical extravaganza!

The Dart International Music Festival is now well established and after
10 years has attracted high quality musicians from all around the
world. From bagpipes and drums to jazz stars such as George Melly and
Digby Fairweather, from school choirs to Chamber Orchestras, boogie
woogie to a didgeridoo, these are just some of the acts we have
had in recent years! If you like music, the festival has something
for you!
Each year hundreds of music lovers descend on the beautiful town of
Dartmouth for three days in May to stroll along the river bank or around
its narrow historic streets sampling the eclectic mix of music on offer,
as well as visiting the town’s many pubs and restaurants, shops and art
galleries.
By the Bandstand in the Royal Avenue Gardens, where much of the action
takes place, the tulips and blossom may still be out, adding even more
splendour to the event. A lot of the music is in the open air or local
pubs and is free of charge, though you will see the many volunteer
collectors shaking their buckets amid the crowds, for without generous
public donations, this festival could not continue.
Whatever your age or musical tastes, come along and enjoy the Dart Music
Festival this year!
