ROSS-on-Wye is set to come alive with the vibrant sounds and sights of the Equinox Festival on September 20 and 21. 

This year’s festival promises a Friday and Saturday packed with global music, diverse performances, and family-friendly activities, all nestled in the picturesque surroundings of the town. 

It will be held at The Bandstand on Wye Street with the The Wilton Road car park only a short walk away. 

The festival, which celebrates its rich tradition of showcasing international talent, will once again offer a dynamic mix of performances. 

Festival goers can look forward to everything from energetic dance troupes to the rhythmic beats of Japanese Taiko drumming. Equinox has built a reputation for its eclectic line-up, and this year is no exception with a range of acts spanning various cultures and genres. 

In addition to the musical festivities, Equinox Festival is introducing an exciting new feature for this year- a dedicated Kids Zone.

This will offer a range of interactive experiences, including face painting, a mobile climbing wall, arts and craft workshops, and circus skills workshops. 

This area will be brimming with activities tailored for families, ensuring that younger festival-goers have just as much fun as their parents. 

The traditional morning yoga session on the Saturday will return, providing a serene way to kick off the day. 

Last year, the festival featured DJ Andy Kershaw with his vibrant dance music, Faith I Branko's captivating Serbian gypsy jazz, and an electrifying performance by The Turbans. Another stellar lineup of global talent and unforgettable performances are expected this year.

The festival will host a diverse selection of food vendors offering cuisine from around the world. From savoury street foods to sweet treats, the food options promise to cater to a variety of tastes and preferences. 

General admission is free but advanced booking is required. The event is designed to be a fun and safe environment for people of all ages.
