Harrogate’s biggest ever dance festival on the Stray will return next year, it’s been confirmed.
The Love to Be… Festival was a huge hit with visitors when it landed on the Stray last weekend.
Thousands of clubbers danced to international DJs including Roger Sanchez and Bez from Happy Mondays.
And the event was so successful that organisers have already said it will be back in 2025.
It will be held on Saturday 6th September 2025.
Pretty much how we feel this morning 🥲 😂 Think we should definitely do it all again next year Harrogate 😉

The dance music festival, billed Harrogate’s “biggest ever”, was held on the Oatlands Stray.
House music classics from Ibiza and beyond had visitors dancing the night away on Harrogate’s famous grassland.
A spokesperson for the festival said:
“We found out one thing… Harrogate knows how to party hard!
“We’ve taken our 30th anniversary around the globe this year with some huge parties but this one was very very special. We are honestly lost for words and pinching ourselves.
“The biggest biggest thank you to the thousands of you that brought the love and energy to every single stage at our first festival.
“What a day... We are already planning a massive day on the Stray in 2025!”
