A celebration has been held in Mevagissey for hundreds of years and was originally held in December. However this coincided with a busy fishing period and so in 1752 Mevagissey adopted St Peter as its patron saint and has held a festival to celebrate this date 29th June ever since.

This wonderful festival thought to be the longest surviving in the County, owes its success to the blend of traditional and new events which brings the whole community together and welcomes hundreds of visitors to share in its unique celebrations.
