LIVERPOOL will see another summer of free festivals and the dates are confirmed for the popular events celebrating some of the City’s historic streets. Managed and supported by Liverpool BID Company, the free events are designed to showcase the best of the City, from food, drink, culture and hospitality. 

Celebrating Castle Street is confirmed for Sunday, 3 August 2025

Celebrating Bold Street will return on Sunday, 17 August 2025

The Last Day of Summer will return for its second year on Liverpool’s waterfront on Saturday, 30 August 2025. 

In 2025 a new festival has been added to the summer programme, Hope Street Blend, from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 September 2025. 

Coinciding with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic’s Open Day on 28 September 2025, Hope Street Blend will bring together cultural partners along the famous Hope Street in a cascade of music and culture. The mini festival will see venues open their doors for pop up events, bringing music into unexpected spaces and celebrate a street that is synonymous with Liverpool’s rich cultural heritage and identity. 

Mark Da Vanzo is Chief Executive of Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse Theatres and is the incoming chair of Hope Street CIC and is on Liverpool BID’s Retail & Leisure Board:- “We are delighted to be introducing Hope Street Blend, an opportunity to enjoy 1 of Liverpool’s finest streets. With a Cathedral at either end, the vibrant hum of daily life, with music and art filling every doorway and space, it is 1 of my favourite places to be in the City. Celebrating our best assets is something I’m very proud to do, and I can’t wait to be able to welcome as many people as possible into our Hope Street venues”. 

Katie Bentley is Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications at Liverpool BID Company:- “It’s so important for us to celebrate the distinct and vibrant neighbourhoods that make up our City. These festivals are designed to be free, significantly, but also to bring to the fore their very characteristic personalities and communities that help to make them so popular. We will be working with all of our businesses and levy payers to make them very special summer days”.
