About the event

This much loved free festival, now in it's 42nd year, will take place from Saturday 4 May to Monday 6 May 2024 between 10am and 6pm.

The Rochester Sweeps Festival, International Festival of Folk Music and Dance has become one of the largest May Day celebrations of its kind in the world.

For 3 days, historic Rochester is transformed into a riot of colour and sound with the best folk musicians and bands, with hundreds of Morris dancers from across the country clattering their clogs and clashing their sticks up and down the high street. The festival also hosts a dynamic programme of international dance groups and workshops.
