Ely AquaFest

Aquafest is Ely's popular waterside festival. The event features the iconic Raft Race, where teams compete for trophies and cash prizes on the River Great Ouse. Visitors can enjoy live music, funfairs, charity stalls, and a variety of food vendors from hog roasts to samosas. Organised by the Rotary Club of Ely, this free community gala typically draws hundreds of visitors to the riverside.
