New film captures the spirit of the Festival

The hard-working team behind the annual Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival have just released their new video, which beautifully captures the atmosphere of this year's festival.

In a festival first, Fal River introduced an innovative floating stage on board the St Mawes Ferry, bringing the music directly to the water's edge and creating an authentic nautical atmosphere that had crowds singing along from multiple waterfront venues - see if you can spot us in the film!

Plans are already underway for 2026, which promises to prove once again why this much-loved festival holds the title of Europe's largest free nautical music celebration, drawing thousands of visitors to Cornwall.
