Hastings Multicultural Festival 2026

Hastings Multicultural Festival takes over The Stade this Saturday, bringing together food and music from communities across the town and far beyond it.

There is a full programme on the main stage, with dance groups sharing traditions from around the world. R&B singer Junior Giscombe is joining the line-up too, alongside Hastings favourites DJ Les and DJ Ackee.

Come hungry because the food is a huge part of the day, with international dishes being served throughout the festival. The Classroom on the Coast will be dishing up Caribbean favourites including jerk chicken and curried goat.

You will also find loads of stalls from local community groups and independent makers around The Stade, so there’s plenty to wander through between performances.

It’s free, it’s right by the sea and everyone’s welcome – if that can’t tempt you down to the Stade on a Saturday, we’re out of ideas.
