The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has announced the capital’s St George’s Day Festival will return to Trafalgar Square on Monday 21 April. Londoners and visitors can look forward to a free, family-friendly event celebrating England’s rich heritage through music, dance, and workshops.
Running from 12-6pm, this year’s festival promises an exciting main stage line up hosted by singer-songwriter Harleymoon Kemp, who returns after a fantastic event in 2024.
The festival features an eclectic programme of live music, dance, spoken word, and interactive workshops.

Throughout the afternoon St George and his Dragon will be roaming across the Square, with traditional Morris dancing from the Belles of London City, and the chance to meet the famous Pearly Kings and Queens.
A wide variety of food and drink stalls will be available and the day will conclude with a ceilidh led by Cut A Shine, a troupe of traditional musicians and dancers.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I’m delighted that our St George’s Day celebrations return to Trafalgar Square this month. Londoners and visitors can enjoy an afternoon of free, family friendly entertainment in the heart of our capital. It’s an event that brings our communities together and showcases all that’s brilliant about England, as we build a better London for everyone.”
