IF: Milton Keynes International Festival has announced it will be making a return in July 2025.

The arts festival will take place in the city from Friday 18 July to Sunday 27 July 2025.

Across the ten days, audiences will be treated to a variety of art installations across Milton Keynes, including live music, large-scale outdoor events, circus shows, comedy, cabaret, installations and free family activities.

Founded and produced by local performing arts venue The Stables, the Festival has become a popular fixture in Milton Keynes’ cultural event calendar.

Engaging more than one million people in its seven previous editions between 2010 and 2023, the festival takes place in locations across Milton Keynes, including parks, public squares, commercial and retail spaces.

IF: Milton Keynes International Festival was also recently been honoured with the EFFE Label 2024/2025 by the European Festivals Association, recognising the event as one of Europe’s most remarkable festivals.

The festival organisers have placed on record thanks Arts Council England, Milton Keynes City Council and headline partner centre:mk for their continued support, as well as the many businesses, trusts and foundations and organisations who are all valued partners of the festival.
