Maidenhead Festival: Live and Local: Summer Sounds

This August, Maidenhead Festival has teamed up with The Waterside Quarter to bring you Live and Local: Summer Sounds — a celebration of music, sunshine, and community spirit right in the heart of town.

📅 Date: Saturday 16th August 2025: 3pm - 8pm
📍 Venue: Waterside Quarter
What’s happening?
Relax, unwind, and soak up the summer vibes as some of the best local acoustic artists take to the stage for a series of laid-back, feel-good performances.
From singer-songwriters to instrumentalists, Summer Sounds will turn our town into a vibrant centre for excellence in The Arts, celebrating creativity and local talent in a truly community-focused setting.

Pull up a deckchair, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy a drink from Bardo Lounge’s pop-up outdoor bar. Treat yourself to something sweet at Cocoba Café’s ice-cream stand. And for something a little different, enjoy a limited number of free boat rides, courtesy of the Friends of Maidenhead Waterways ​between 3pm & 5pm – it’s first come, first served, so don’t miss out!

Can you help?
We've been asked to volunteer as stewards and help support the performers throughout the event. It’s a great way to be part of the action, give back to the community, and enjoy the day from behind the scenes. If you’re available and willing to lend a hand, we’d love to have you involved!
