What a weekend! Thank you Dunbar.
Dunbar Music Festival 2026 was a brilliant celebration of live music, community and the town itself. A huge thank you to everyone who came along, performed, volunteered, hosted events, supported our venues and helped create such a special atmosphere across the weekend.
We’ve put together a short video capturing just a little of what happened.
We’re already looking ahead to 2027. To be the first to hear festival news, artist announcements and other updates, join our mailing list

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported Dunbar Music Festival over the weekend.
