Vintage By The Sea Festival 2023



In September this year the Vintage By The Sea Festival celebrates the 10 year anniversary of creating outstanding programmes of art and culture in Morecambe. 

Founded in 2013 by Deco Publique and Wayne & Gerardine Hemingway MBE, the 2 day long festival provides Morecambe seafront with a stunning backdrop inspired by the decades from the 20s to the 90s.

For their 10th anniversary the organisers have promised to deliver an exceptional line up of  performance, music, dance, classic cars, vintage and design marketplaces, DJ sets, Best in Show fashion parades, workshops and street food, and no doubt much much more.

"We'll be bringing back some of the best and most loved programme from the last 10 years as well as welcoming some new editions as this anniversary edition sets out to be one of our finest!"

Described by The Guardian as one of the ‘Top Five Retro Events in the World’ - last year the award winning event attracted 45,000 visitors over the weekend, generating an economic impact of over £1.5 million for the local economy.

With the tagline of 'Celebrating 20th Century Culture', the free family festival brings together music, fashion, film, art, design and dance from the 1920s to the 1990s, with the emphasis throughout on glamour and head-turning style.

It's a great day out for people of all ages with so much to see and do. There is also an After Party on the Saturday Night in The Little Big Top marquee featuring local DJs playing alongside a yet to announced headline DJ.

There are a variety of live DJ sets from previous Vintage By The Sea events covering everything from Rock N Roll and Rockabilly, to Soul, Funk, Jazz, Disco, Latin, Boogie, Rhythm N Blues, and Classic House on the festivals Mixcloud.
