The Northampton Music Festival is a free annual event that takes place in the town centre and is designed to celebrate Northampton’s rich music culture. The objective is to raise the profile of Northampton through music; to provide a showcase for the broad range of musicians and artists that are based in the town and to provide a community-focused gathering which invites all to join in a festive celebration of the music scene. The festival is organised by Northampton Music 365 – a not for profit, community group, in partnership with a range of local organisations.
