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. Visitors enjoy music from various bands and singers throughout the week. The focal point is Wednesday's Grand Parade, a celebration of creativity and teamwork in a flotilla of decorated barges tugged by rowers. Additional fringe events connect the canal with Kent's longest high street.
