Day of the dead festival 2025 held in Westward Ho! Devon sponsored by Surfbay holiday park and Beachside holiday park.


The Day Of The Dead Festival, Westward Ho! was established in 2017. It's just perfect for the village as it's a celebration of life.

A time to remember your ancestors and the fond memories they bring. We have music, a procession, lights, fire shows, street foods, dance and in the past, a firework display to finish.

WHERE-Same venue as last year. We wanted to be in the centre of Westward Ho!, the birth place of this event but due to the ever changing UK weather and needing shelter we have taken over The Guillemot Gardens for the evening. 


5.00pm The Gardens will be open to grab an early drink, soak up the atmosphere and get ready for this great event.


6.00-8.00pm Heigher Beings Circus are with us for a 2nd year. Expect fire, dangling people, circus skills from these tallented performers.


6.00-7.30pm Tamsin Ball. Excited for this one, Tamsin has been with this event from the beginning and adds a spark to it like no other! Mystical songs sung beautifully from the main stage.


5.00-8.00pm Bob and Dad (from Ho! Surf) will be running the proceedings keeping you informed and helping you enjoy the evening.


Expect an evening of fun, frolics, fire, performers, in a relaxed while electric atmosphere. What's more....It's FREE!
