Bristol Harbour Festival
Bad weather marred the 42nd Bristol Harbour Festival this weekend but organisers still say a 250,000 people attended. It's the second biggest street festival in the country and celebrates the city's maritime history.
Second day of Bristol Harbour Festival
It's day two for one of the UK's biggest free festivals. Last year over 300,000 people attended, although a rainy forecast over Saturday and Sunday may dampen numbers down this time.
Today's attractions include:
- A children's Treasure Island party featuring different pirate-themed activities
- A jet ski freestyle display in the harbour
- A firework display - the first for three years, at a cost of £10,000
