Following message received from Dartford Borough Council -

Get ready for a great year!!

January might be a quiet one for the calendar, but we're busy behind the scenes making sure there's a great range of events coming from Dartford Borough Council.

Most of our events are free, some have a small cost, all of them put Dartford residents first.

We've made sure there's something for everyone happening in 2026. Whether it's the Big Day Out offering live music, a two-day steam rally and our popular Kids Zone all free of charge, our great range of cultural events like St George's Day parade, Holi and Pride, or Central Park's season of hosting summer events like outdoor cinema screenings, live theatre and free bandstand concerts

Last year we spread the Big Day Out's steam rally across the full weekend, and it was a massive hit. So we thought, why not do it again? Come and enjoy the steam rally at the Big Day Out and Big Chill Out on the weekend of July 11 and 12.

There will be plenty more familiar entertainment across the weekend, with live music, fairground rides, the Kids Zone and community stalls all available to visit.

Don't forget to register to exhibit a vehicle if you'd like to bring one along.

There's plenty to come before the Big Day Out.

March marks International Women's Day, with this year's event celebrating women in the creative arts from Dartford.

We're working with Cohesion Plus on events like Holi Festival of Colours in March, St George's Day and the return of weekly town centre entertainment returning in April and a celebration of South Asian Culture in July.

Our Outdoor Theatre season begins with a family matinee performance of Pinocchio in May. Pride will be taking place in June, with plenty of detail to come.

Visit our events page below to see our full calendar of events. We'll be updating pages throughout the year with more information. Make sure to keep an eye out.
