Conwy River Festival

Conwy’s annual on-the-water festival is taking place over two weekends in July.

The fun begins with the famous LA-LA Rally to Caernarfon which runs from Friday 8th – Sunday 10th July, and both Power and Sail are welcome.

The racing weekend is the following weekend, Saturday 16th – Sunday 17th July, which includes racing in Conwy Bay for larger boats as well as river racing for smaller boats and dayboats.

• La-La Rally: 8th – 10th July 2022
• Racing: 16th – 17th July 2022

The sail racing on the second weekend is open to all classes and skill levels. The lightweight speedy racers, standard cruising yachts, heavy Morecambe Bay Prawners, traditional Gaff Rigged yachts as well as a variety of day boats including the gorgeous Conway One Designs will all be competing.
