Dunbar Music Festival is a celebration of local musical talent and community spirit, where well-established acts meet up-and-coming artists on Scotland's stunning east coast.

Our 2025 line-up will see more free gigs than ever before across 17 venues - from cosy cafés to seaside pubs - featuring a vibrant mix of genres from folk, jazz and blues to indie, electronica and rock.

Whether you're into Americana, Electronica, Rock, Jazz, Folk, Pop or Singer-Songwriters, there's something for everyone.
