Folkestone Trawler Race Weekend

This year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Trawler Race Weekend events. Our purpose remains unchanged, yet the importance of raising awareness about the challenges our fishermen face and supporting our local fishing community and maritime heritage has never been greater.

Come and watch our trawlers compete against one another, with their crews in fancy dress, fully armed with flour cannons. Enjoy a weekend brimming with live music, dancing, a funfair, a variety of stalls, the famous Mison's Annual Fish Pie Competition, and much more.

It's not just a fun outing for the whole family; it's also an opportunity to celebrate our maritime heritage and support our fishermen by purchasing fresh fish from their local fish shop, which is located on The Stade.
