This ancient festival celebrating the Feast of St. Peter has become a major event in the Cornish calendar. Centered around the picturesque harbour, which is decorated with colourful lighting and huge silk flags depicting fantasy fish, turning the whole area into a riot of colour and movement.


The festival starts off on Sunday 29th June with a must day for all fish lovers, the annual Fish Festival is a gastronomic delight providing the freshest fish you will ever taste from scallops to sardines, mackerel to monkfish. Local chefs and fishermen demonstrating filleting and cooking methods.

Live music is provided by a line up of artists featuring Mick Russell (Blues), Bucket Boys (R 'n' B), Riot (Rock 'n' Roll), Maryland and Camille Miller (Contemporary) and Rocket Dog (Rock), something for all tastes. There is a procession at 3.00pm when 'Pete the Fish' makes his big appearance with the Festival band and lots of little fish.
