Picking up where the old Bath International Music Festival (established in 1948) left off, the 17-day-long Bath Festival is an exciting multi-arts event, which continues to draw huge crowds of festival-goers to the city each May. 

Music, of course, continues to play a large role in the festival, with everything from jazz to classical to folk and international music being included.

A must-attend highlight is the Party in the City event, an exciting evening of music that's free to enjoy with upwards of 2,000 performers from various music genres playing at multiple venues across Bath.
