Dunbar Music Festival 2021
Friday 3 to Sunday 5 September 2021
The relaunch and rebrand of Dunbar Music Festival coincided with the pandemic. As such, the Festival was hosted exclusively in outdoor venues and we brought the dates forward a little to benefit from the sunnier weather.
The historic Dunbar Harbour Battery served as our primary location, with a small number of free gigs happening outside pubs and hotels that could offer suitable space.
The Battery sessions took place over three days, with afternoon and evening gigs broadly themed as: World music, Contemporary and Traditional.
