Saturday 2nd – Sunday 3rd May 2026 📍Portobello, Edinburgh
After the incredible energy of our debut year, Porty Festival is back — and 2026 is set to be even bigger, brighter, and bolder!
Celebrate the May bank holiday with a long weekend full of coastal creativity, community spirit, and seaside fun.
With live music by the sea, bustling makers’ markets (including a Young Makers Market), hands-on creative workshops, community events, the much-loved dog competition, history tour, vintage clothing pop-ups, delicious street food, family activities, and that unbeatable Porty atmosphere.
New additions join the lineup this year, including:
• The Cinnamon Bun Run — a sweet and uplifting start to your morning
• Dip & Sip — a refreshing sea swim followed by cocktails on the beach.
Whether you’re here for the tunes, the treats, the cold-water dip, or a good wander along the prom, Porty Festival 2026 promises a weekend filled with creativity, connection, and coastal magic.
Come celebrate Portobello at its vibrant.
