Residents in Northampton can look forward to a weekend of live music and community events at Abington Park over the May Bank Holiday. While the regular musical performances at the park bandstand will not take place on Sunday 24 May, the space will host the annual Rockin’ Roadrunner Festival instead.
Now in its 13th year, the Rockin’ Roadrunner Festival is a free, inclusive event organised by and for adults with disabilities. Running from 12:00pm to 5:30pm on Sunday 24 May, the festival will feature live music, craft stalls, inflatables, and fairground rides.
The Bands in the Park programme, managed by Northampton Town Council, will return to its usual schedule on Bank Holiday Monday, 25 May. Attendees can enjoy live music from 2pm to 5pm, with the performance kindly provided by The Park Cafe. The cafe is located adjacent to the bandstand and offers drinks, snacks, and full meals for those visiting the park.
The tradition of hosting musical performances at the Abington Park bandstand is a significant local fixture, with events occurring there every year since 1900. This season marks the 126th year of continuous performances in the park.
