Worthing Lions Summer Festival returns - all you need to know

A popular family festival returns to Worthing seafront this weekend.

The Worthing Lions Summer Festival will take place on the promenade and Steyne Gardens on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26.

Visitors can enjoy a bustling market across both days, with a classic car show on Saturday, and an American car display on Sunday. There will also be a wide range of traders, attractions and activities for families to enjoy.

A funfair also runs for ten days around the festival.

Saturday's celebrations will end with a ‘spectacular’ fireworks display over the seafront. All proceeds will help support community initiatives and local causes, according to the Worthing Lions.

This year, for the first time, the event will be run in collaboration with the Worthing Town Centre BID. The BID said the partnership creates ‘exciting new collaboration focused on supporting the local community and enhancing Worthing’s vibrant seafront offer’.

A Worthing Town Centre BID spokesperson said: “The Summer Seafront Festival continues to be one of Worthing’s most anticipated summer events, bringing together residents, visitors, businesses, and community groups for a memorable weekend by the sea.”
