Pina Colada Festival brings record-breaking footfall to Northwich

The Piña Colada Festival returned on Saturday (August 17), bringing with it the largest footfall figure for any live event held in Northwich.

Witton Street, Barons Quay and Apple Market Place were all full of joyful faces as people of all ages enjoyed live music, dancing, games, parades and more.

Ellis Wardle, chair of Northwich Business Improvement District, said: “The town’s hospitality businesses really get on board and the number of businesses joining in with food and drink offers and dressing themselves and their venues for the day certainly adds to the carnival atmosphere. 

The festival was delivered by the BID in partnership with Northwich Town Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council, with support from Radio Northwich.

Councillor Sam Naylor added: “It was great to see Northwich streets full of people enjoying themselves on Saturday. 

“As one of, if not the, biggest events in Northwich’s annual calendar the Piña Colada Festival has captured the imagination of everyone, with people getting into the spirit of the day by dressing up and coming into town to meet friends and family and it’s something that is a big success for Northwich”.
