After the phenomenal success of Bangor Summer Festival 2024, which saw over 10,000 people flood the city for an unforgettable day of entertainment, community spirit, and celebration, the festival’s organising team is gearing up to make 2025 even bigger, better, and more spectacular!

With thousands set to descend on Bangor on Saturday, 16th August 2025, the festival is on the lookout for a highly skilled and creative videographer to capture the energy, excitement, and magic of the city’s biggest annual event.

Last year’s festival was nothing short of extraordinary. The streets of Bangor were alive with music, dance, performances, and laughter, as families, friends, and visitors celebrated together. From jaw-dropping entertainment and interactive shows to a bustling artisan market, street food vendors, and incredible live performances, the festival was a true showcase of community spirit and joy.

Nigel Pickavance, Bangor City Councillor and co-festival organiser, highlighted the unique opportunity this role offers:

“We’re looking for someone who wants the incredible opportunity to capture Bangor at its absolute best. In this special 1500th anniversary year, it’s more important than ever to document the community coming together, celebrating, and making lifelong memories.

We need a videographer who can truly capture the fun and excitement, the wonder and the surprise—not just to showcase the event but to create a lasting historical record of this milestone year. It’s bound to be a challenging yet rewarding role, and I have no doubt that there are talented creatives out there who would love to take on this opportunity.”

The 2025 festival promises to be even more thrilling, with new surprises, immersive entertainment, and a whole host of exciting activities in store. To truly capture the scale, energy, and unforgettable moments of the day, a videographer is needed who can bring the festival to life on screen!
