A form of the festival has taken place in Mevagissey for hundreds of years and was originally held in December. However this coincided with a busy time out at sea for local fishermen , so in 1752 the town adopted St Peter as its patron saint and has held a festival on the saint’s feast day ever since. This wonderful festival thought to be the longest surviving in Cornwall, owes its success to the blend of traditional and contemporary events which brings the whole community together and welcomes hundreds of visitors to share in its unique celebrations.

Started in 1978, the St Ives September Festival lasts for fifteen days offering a wide range of music, arts and literature events in locations throughout the town, attracting visitors from far and wide.
