The ‘All Aboard’ river festival takes place this Saturday (Sept 5) on and around the river from Riverside Park to Quay 2000, having been postponed from August 22 because of poor weather.

It features a musical and theatrical treasure trail, with performances popping up around the Itchen, with some accessible on foot as well as by boat, such as at the swan jetty and the greens around St Denys.

“You are welcome to come in watery fancy-dress, make music on the water and even bring your own performance afloat or at the waters edge!” says the Facebook page.

It takes place during high tide (approx noon until 5pm).

Expect anything from storytelling to rock, and shanties to, er, pandas, apparently!

The Met Office is even predicting some sunshine for the event at the time of writing, with winds of around 12mph (unlike the 40mph winds that caused the previous cancellation!).

See the poster below and the Facebook event page for more information.

The art exhibition will also be open again in St Denys Boat Club hall from 10am-5pm – see our previous preview here.
