Summer Comes Alive: Music and Magic at Maidenhead’s Waterside Quarter

Maidenhead Festival will offer lots of mellow sounds, 3-8pm on Saturday, 16th August

Live and Local: Summer Sounds – A New Musical Experience

Waterside Quarter is collaborating with Maidenhead Festival to bring you Live and Local: Summer Sounds, a vibrant live-music celebration. In 2025, Maidenhead Festival evolves from a two-day event to a series of high-impact, small-scale gatherings. This new format ensures local talent shines throughout the year—and Summer Sounds continues that spirit at the riverside.

Riverside Music, Refreshments, and Fun for All

Enjoy an afternoon of live music from local artists while relaxing in provided deckchairs along the river. Plus, treat yourself at the pop-up outdoor bar hosted by Bardo Lounge and indulge in ice cream from Cocoba Café. Meanwhile, children can get creative at the craft station, and families can join free mini boat rides courtesy of Friends of Maidenhead Waterways from 3–5 pm.

A Community Celebration with Festival Vibes

This family-friendly event brings together music, energy, and a genuine festival atmosphere. Katherine Croom, MD of Sorbon Estates, enthuses, “We’re proud to team up with Maidenhead Festival. It’s a brilliant opportunity to support local talent and offer something fun, free, and vibrant for the whole community.” Likewise, Lisa Hunter, Chair of Maidenhead Festival, says, “We’re thrilled to launch this new format. It brings the community together in a beautiful setting and creates memorable experiences.”
