19th Annual Towcester Midsummer Music Festival 2021
Broadcast on Saturday 19th June 2021, this event is still available to watch online
The Rotary and Lions clubs of Towcester combined once again to put on another sparkling event hosted by the Town Mayor.
Because of the uncertainty around restrictions for live performances, Midsummer Music 2021 was again a virtual event, and is still available to watch on the Towcester Midsummer Music Festival Facebook and YouTube channels.
30 local musical acts took part and our festival reached over 16,000 people on Facebook (as far away as Australia) with the videos being viewed nearly 4,000 times.
The entertainment was designed for all the family, so, please do watch and support the Mayor's charities.
2022 will be the 20th Anniversary of the Towcester Midsummer Music Festival, so we are very much looking forward to bringing a fantastic LIVE event. Put 17-19 June in your diaries now!
