Brighton Festival & Fringe Festival
Entertainment extravaganza (May)
At the beginning of May, Brighton Festival kicks off with a high-spirited children's parade that winds through the city streets.
Three weeks of entertainment ensues including music, dance, theatre, circus, literature and more.
The Fringe Festival which itself consists of over 4,500 events, many of which fall into the sphere of weird but wonderful, runs alongside the main festival.
