Celebrating Bold Street saw 20% jump in footfall

The Last Day of Summer is fast approaching and the Waterfront programme can be revealed as final plans are made. Taking place on Saturday 30 August, the family friendly and wellness festival takes place across Liverpool’s famous waterfront.

Celebrating Bold Street continued the summer’s events celebrating the culture and businesses of the city centre’s streets last Sunday. Liverpool’s BID’s data shows a 20% increase in footfall compared with 2023 (the event did not take place in 2024).
