We are really excited to be able to announce that we are returning for the 2025 Eel Day Festival in Jubilee Gardens.2025 is a celebration as we celebrate May 1945 and the end of the War in Europe. With a wide range of food vendors, traders and an entertainment programme from some wonderful local organisations, this promises to be another truly memorable weekend of fun and remembrance.
The famously decorated ‘Eel Parade’ will depart at 10.30am from Cross Green, before making its way down through the High Street, down Forehill and towards the Riverside where the real celebrations begin.
There will be live entertainment in the arena all day together with the very popular ‘Eel Throwing’ (not real Eels!). There will be baby eels, eel artists and for those of you who would like to try, jellied Eels! The foodie zone will be joined by a selection of musicians from the Ely Folk Festival, so come along and relax, spend some time together down by the river, enjoy crafts, activities and most of all celebrate the glorious city of Ely.
Best of all - it is all FREE!
