How we reported this
City Splash Festival 2026 is scheduled for Bank Holiday Monday, May 25, at Brockwell Park in Brixton with over 60 artists across six stages and 30,000 expected attendees.

City Splash Festival at Brockwell Park
City Splash Festival 2026 is London's leading Caribbean and African music festival, scheduled for Bank Holiday Monday, May 25, at Brockwell Park in Brixton with over 60 artists across six stages and 30,000 expected attendees. The single-day format at the park allows attendees to move between stages on foot.
Brixton Disco Festival venues
Brixton Disco Festival returns for its 8th year on Saturday, May 2, 2026, featuring world-class DJs and live acts across multiple iconic venues including Electric Brixton, Phonox, and Ritzy. The spread across three separate sites means visitors can choose one venue or move between them during the evening.
Summer Market at Lambeth Town Hall
A Summer Market pop-up celebrating African and Caribbean producers will take place on Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12, 2026, at Lambeth Town Hall with 40+ traders and African art. The two-day indoor format at the town hall provides shelter and a central location near transport links.
Housemates Festival and earlier exhibitions
The Housemates Festival, showcasing new work and supporting emerging creatives, returns for its 4th edition as part of Brixton House's 2026 season. Earlier in the year, Brixton Culture Capital featured exhibitions in March 2026, including the Bibby Boys Exhibition at Photofusion tracing solidarity around the Bibby Stockholm barge. Visitors interested in theatre and visual arts can check Brixton House and Photofusion calendars for ticketed entry times.
Advance planning around the listed dates and named venues reduces the need for last-minute changes. Ticket and entry information is available through the organisers' usual channels for each event.
