Events not to miss in Liverpool

There are events happening in Liverpool City Region every day of all scales and genres.

 

Liverpool is well-known for putting on a show, whether it is the largest horse racing event of the year - The Grand National Festival, the ever-changing Liverpool Biennial, the iconic Eurovision Song Contest in 2023. in 2024 we saw the re-imagined Mathew Street Festival on the iconic Pier Head and in 2025 Sefton Park will host BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend!

 

Visitors flock from across the city region, country and even the world for On The Water Front Festival, the four-day multi genre concert series which has become a firm fixture in the city's festival calendar, or to walk the River of Light trail and participate in Beatlemania in Liverpool. 

 

It’s pretty busy, all year round. Take a look at what is on offer.
