This is held every year in May and is a spectacular event.
North Shields is situated at the mouth of the River Tyne to the East of Newcastle. It is a fishing port, with much character. A lot of regeneration is going on in the area.
The Fish Quay Festival has been re-named WOW in recent years, which stands for Window on the World. It is mainly a music festival, featuring local up and coming bands and usually a handful of more widely known bands. The festival runs from Friday to Sunday, with a showpiece on the Saturday night, featuring a well-known band and spectacular fireworks on the river.
There are several pubs on the quayside which open their doors and hospitality to the thousands of visitors that flock their.
There are also market style stalls, food stalls, and lots of feature stages for the bands that play.
If you are in the area during May Bank Holiday - make sure you don't miss out.
