Welcome to the official Inverclyde Music Festival website.

The Festival is a registered charity and run by a Committee of volunteers who are involved in preparation for the Festival throughout the year.

The annual Music Festival starts on the last week of January and runs for a fortnight, culminating in a Celebration Concert on the final Saturday evening, featuring a selection of the highlights from the two weeks.

THE ' ENVIRONMENTALLY ' FRIENDLY FESTIVAL

In 2023, alongside a new digital entry process, we successfully trialled a fully digital festival programme, making it free to download and eliminating the need for printed copies. This initiative aligned perfectly with our commitment to running a more sustainable and environmentally responsible Festival.

For 2024, we continued this approach by producing a free digital programme, alongside a limited number of printed copies available for purchase at festival venues. This decision, shaped by community feedback, ensured that all members of the Inverclyde Music Festival community had equal access to event information.

In 2025, we further advanced our sustainability efforts by introducing a highly successful online submission process, removing the need for entrants to send paper copies entirely.

These measures mark important steps toward reducing our environmental impact. We will continue to build on these initiatives, with the aim of developing the Inverclyde Music Festival into an environmentally friendly, fully sustainable event for 2026 and beyond.
