Throughout the day you'll also find opportunities to learn more about our amazing coastline and plenty of chances to simply enjoy being beside the sea.
As the sun begins to set, the festival will lead into the Tide of Light lantern procession and the inaugural Sea Change Awards (https://fb.me/e/4UXSpwlwC), celebrating the people, groups and businesses who help keep our connection with the sea alive.
