Pickering 60s Festival is a free annual event held in the small market town of Pickering, North Yorkshire. It is organised by a small committee of people and paid for by local fund raising events. Having now had five successful years the Pickering 60s Festival committee is currently busy planning its sixth year to be held on Wednesday 12th, Thursday 13th, Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June 2013.

The Pickering 60s Festival event is held over 5 days of which the main attraction is live sixties music from both headline and local bands. Other activities include a parade of classic sixties vehicles, fancy dress, period hairstyling, memorabilia stalls, kiddies rides and much more. During the evening on each day of the event there is a local 60s tribute band in each Public House in Pickering. Simply pick your place and carry on the celebrations into the following morning.

Finally if you would like to support the Pickering 60s Festival in any way then please contact us or simply send us a donation. In return we will put your name or company name in our sponsors section and link back to your website. If you have already donated in any way then, thank you very much, we appreciate your support.
