Seven days of fun, frolics and festivities on and off the water return to Portland next week.
The fifth Portland Week begins on Monday, August 21 and continues until Sunday, August 27.
At the end of the festival week, which offers a jam-packed week of floating fun, it will all be brought together with the boatfolk Folk Boat floating festival, a music festival with a twist.
Jump in your dinghy or pump up your paddle board and join in a floating folk extravaganza. Dancing is encouraged but be prepared to get wet!
The festival has a serious message too. It will be supporting beach clean warriors Clean Jurassic Coast during the week, raising funds and awareness so they can keep up their great work.
