First Light Festival 2024

Gary and Roger are ready to get started at this years festival

A local choir sang out 'Here comes the sun' to kick off the day one on the beach - and everyone did their best to ignore the 'sharp showers' that appeared in the afternoon. Thankfully the clouds parted and the sun shone on the stages on the beach and Kensington Gardens, aloowing the acts to entertain.

On The Garden stage, children sang through the afternoon and Cuban music really got people dancing as the sun began its descent.

East Anglian trio 'The Trips' sang a mix of country and more to a cheering crowd. They debuted a song called 'First Light' that was just perfect for the festival.

East Suffolk One was out and about throughlut the weekend talking to performers and local organisations. Tune in to hear highlights from across the weekend.
