Hythe Venetian Fete 2026 - Grand Parade

About this event
Every two years during the third week of August, a 500-metre stretch of the Royal Military Canal in Hythe is transformed into an open-air theatre. The focal point is Wednesday's Grand Parade, a celebration of creativity and teamwork in a flotilla of decorated barges tugged by hardy rowers. During the week, visitors enjoy music from various bands and singers, with additional fringe events planned to connect the canal and Kent's longest high street.
