The River Festival 2025:

Date to be Announced

In 2025, we’re continuing to work with local community groups and organisations to celebrate the home of The River Summit & Festival, The River Wandle, including the Greater London Authority.

Collaborating with the GLA, we are planning a River Festival aligning with the 2025 London Borough of Culture celebrations, emphasising the importance of environmental sustainability and community engagement.

As part of the cultural milestone of Wandsworth being the 2025 London Borough of Culture, the event will bring together local voices, experts, and artists to explore the vital role of rivers in urban life, particularly the River Wandle, which flows through the borough.

“Culture has the power to transform communities and to bring people closer together. Now, more than ever, there is a pressing need to reach out to our neighbours and celebrate London’s unique and diverse culture. London Borough of Culture is a great way to do just that whilst showing the world that our cultural gems extend way beyond the centre of the capital to all corners of the city.” — Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan
