Greenwich+Docklands International Festival 2026:
Greenwich+Docklands International Festival (GDIF) is one of London’s major free outdoor arts festivals.
21 August – 6 September 2026 - The 2026 theme is “WE MOVE”, focusing on London’s resilience, community and the ways people respond to change and challenges.
LOCATION:
Rather than being in one festival ground, GDIF uses public spaces around London, particularly:
Greenwich
Woolwich
Thamesmead
Newham / East London
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park / Stratford
This makes it particularly interesting because many performances happen in squares, streets, parks, riverside areas and other unexpected locations.
EVENTS AND TICKETS :
Contemporary dance, Street theatre, Circus, Outdoor theatre,Live music and gig theatre, Art installations, Family activities and many more.
Most events are free and don't require tickets, generally you simply turn up.
