The busiest months for festivals here are February and August, counting each month an event runs in.

What our Bristol guide says about those seasons:

Summer (June to August)

Harbourside terraces and boat trips are at their busiest. Wikivoyage's Bristol guide says major festivals are held in summer, so check organisers' sites for dates.

Winter (December to February)

Days are short and can be wet. Museums, galleries, theatres and covered markets carry the itinerary.
