With headline entertainment from Steve Royle and Tom Lister, alongside hands-on activities, live music and grassroots involvement, the event transformed St Annes Square into a thriving hub of energy and inclusivity.
Crucially, its success lay not just in attendance, but in the way it brought together local organisations, families and visitors in a shared celebration.
As Councillor Karen Buckley,said: “Fylde Fest continues to grow as a highlight of our local events calendar, helping to position St Annes Square as a thriving hub for culture, community and celebration. With such an overwhelmingly positive response, this year’s Spring into Life event has set the bar for future festivals.”
