A wave of events will wash over Liverpool this May and June as
the city welcomes three special maritime weekends to the iconic
waterfront.
The first weekend will be the national focus for the 70th
anniversary of the Battle of Atlantic Commemorations and will see
the waterfront and city centre come alive with all things naval.
From a veterans parade, a special band concert by Her Majesty's
Royal Marines at the Philharmonic Hall, a 40s themed party at St
George's Hall, a fly past and a James Bond style display involving
the Royal Marines, exhibitions, warships and bomb disposal displays
get ready for an action packed adventure.
The following weekend celebrates 25 Years of Making History.
Marking 25 years since the completion of the regeneration of the
Albert Dock and the opening of Tate Liverpool, Liverpool's most
visited tourist attraction is offering three days of entertainment
and fun.
Expect a musical and maritime experience for all the family, as
the hugely popular Music on the Waterfront and Mersey River
Festival return for the final weekend. Watch as the unique World
Heritage site is transformed with home grown talent and household
names performing on the outdoor stage in front of the Liver
Building and as Tall Ships and historic vessels line the
waterfront.
With a wealth of things to see and do, expect the
unexpected.
