Tuesday, 2 April 2024 17:38

The Havre des Pas Seaside Festival and The Fete de St Helier will take place in the span of two weeks this summer.

The Parish of St Helier has announced the plans, with the Havre des Pas Seaside Festival from 13 July to 14 July.

The family favourite will take place on St. Helier's Havre Des Pas beach and the Lido and promises live music on the beach, street food, and fairground rides.

Fete de St Helier is coming back to the island a week later, from the 20 July to 21 July.

Islanders and tourists can enjoy food, drink, entertainment, fun fair rides and local stalls.

Connor Burgher from the Parish of St Helier wants islanders to get excited and get involved:

"You need to block these weekends off, it is so important. When you think about what the parish does it is really important we put on events like this and give our community something to do, to enjoy the parish, especially in the summer.

"I think I got soaked last year but hopefully it'll be sunny, it'll be happy and it'll be a whole lot of fun.

"I don't want to give too much away about what we've got planned for this year but what I can tell you is they'll be bigger, they'll be more community fun, more free stuff for people to have a go at than ever before.

"This is important to us to keep our events easily accessible so as many people as possible can enjoy them."
