About
Welcome to Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival
Welcome to the largest free nautical music and song festival in Europe!
Falmouth has a proud and long history as a first safe port of call for deepwater sailing ships. It was here that sailors filled our waterside alehouses with their songs, and it is here that those shanties and stories are kept alive today.
Expect over eighty groups from across the UK, Europe and further afield, performing classic and contemporary shanties in many town and quayside locations.
