Step aboard for a one-of-a-kind journey through history as we mark 100 years of Bideford Rotary with this year’s special theme: “Sailing Through Time – 100 years of Bideford Rotary". The 2025 Bideford Water Festival promises an unforgettable day packed with vibrant community spirit, historic tributes, and maritime fun.
Join us at the Quay for a family-friendly celebration featuring live performances, themed floats, and a huge range of market stalls, games, and water-based spectacles. Whether you’re reliving the roaring 1920s or imagining the future, there’s something for everyone – and entry is completely free.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates, highlights from past festivals, and this year’s programme as it unfolds. Let’s celebrate a century of service, togetherness and adventure – right here in the heart of Bideford.
