Long-term future of UK's only free beach festival is sealed
East Suffolk Council has agreed to fund First Light Festival for the next three years.
More than 40,000 people had flocked to Lowestoft's south beach and seafront earlier this year for the popular free multi arts festival.
And this week, East Suffolk councillors met to discuss continuing its financial support for the festival that turned five in 2025.
