GO Festival 2026 featured a vibrant mix of professional acts, local performers and interactive experiences for all ages, including giant walking trees, face painting, bubble fun, Boom Circus and a lively dance programme in Gainsborough that kept the town centre buzzing throughout the day.
The Birdcage Stage headlined the show with their interactive, family-friendly street theatre show – Cartoon Capers – combined aerial circus, physical comedy and clowning inside the striking structure.
One standout moment was the Rhythm in Movement flash mob, which burst into action and surprised visitors with an energetic performance that added to the festival atmosphere.
GO Festival 2026 was supported by funding by West Lindsey District Council and Gainsborough Town Council.
