A RELAUNCH event for the 3 Harbours Arts Festival takes place this Saturday.

The festival has not been held in-person for several years - with the most recent festival in 2021 taking place online due to Covid-19 restrictions - and last year it was "at the point of closure" as it struggled to find committee members.

But a relaunch event has now been announced and organisers told the Courier earlier this month that they were already gaining "momentum" ahead of a full "festival revival" planned for next summer.

The relaunch event takes place at Port Seton Harbour next Saturday (September 21) between 11am and 5pm; the family-friendly event is free to attend and all are welcome.

Music will be provided by Charlie Mac, Thorntree Players, Time to Shine, Ana Filogonio and Overton & McCann, while there will also be storytelling from Courier columnist Tim Porteus.

There are then plans for a full festival revival in June next year.
