Things to do in Liverpool in 2024
As soon as the days get longer and brighter, the Liverpool events scene gets busier. There are dozens of things to do in Liverpool no matter your tastes. In 2024, we are very excited about a once-off event happening in June. Liverpool is to host the naming ceremony for the brand-new cruise ship, Queen Anne. Thousands of people are expected on the Mersey Waterfront as the vessel makes its first voyage around the British Isles. Expect entertainment for all ages, music, festivities, food and more to mark this very special occasion. This year we’re also looking forward to events in Liverpool like Wicked at The Empire, Wirral Family Festival and The Ultimate Show at the Exhibition Centre.
Festivals in Liverpool
Liverpool has a packed schedule of festivals and celebrations covering art, food & drink, heritage, music, LGBTQ+, culture, and much more! The Northwest’s largest comic book and film fan convention is back in Liverpool for 2024 on 4th & 5th May where you can expect competitions, guests, celebrities, costumes and much more! On 29th July Pride in Liverpool returns to the city with an explosion of colour and diversity. Five zones across the city centre are filled with activities and performances for this over-the-top celebration. Matthew St Festival takes over during the August Bank Holiday weekend with dozens of acts performing over the four days and lots of local restaurants on the street selling delicious foods.
Family things to do in Liverpool
If you’re lucky enough to be travelling as a family, there is plenty of choice for things to do in Liverpool to keep everyone entertained. Southport Flower Show on 15– 18th August has entertainment for all ages as well as spectacular floral displays. Southport Air Show is always a magical day on the beach admiring the planes, trying flight simulators, exploring static aircraft, climbing walls, assault courses and plenty more! Southport is just 40 minutes by train from Liverpool City Centre. British Musical Fireworks Championship takes place on Saturday 23 September 2023 at Victoria Park and promises an exciting night of entertainment. River of Light happens during the darker months so you can truly appreciate the illuminated statues and art around the city in October and November.
Music Festivals in Liverpool
Music is part of the heart and soul of Liverpool so it’s no surprise that musical events are abundant here every year. Things really heat up at the Baltic Festival with a fantastic lineup of music including house, techno, bass and much more on  31st May and 1st June. Reminiscence Festival on 7th September has an incredible lineup of throwback and new age dance hits and DJs to celebrate their 10th anniversary. We couldn’t mention music in Liverpool without a nod to our musical heroes at International Beatle Week, a celebration of all things Fab Four from 21st-27th August. Expect tours, talks and 70 bands from over 20 countries in venues citywide. In July, Sefton Park will be taken over for a 3-day music festival called In the Park Festival, with music and entertainment stretching across all genres.
Sporting Fixtures in Liverpool
Another part of our culture in Liverpool is the sport and we look forward to dozens of fixtures every year.  Football is the most popular sport in the city and with rival teams Liverpool and Everton both fighting for the top spot we’re expecting a busy year! Jurgen Klopp has announced he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season so we expect the last few Klopp-headed matches to be full sell outs. The Randox Grand National is one for every sporting calendar and 2024 is bigger and better than ever. On 13t April 2024, the biggest steeplechase in the world returns to Aintree drawing crowds of thousands of hopeful punters.
