A Message from Victoria Dowling on Behalf of the Dream Louder Founders

Dear Whitstable Friends and Local Businesses,

With the 2026 Dream Louder Music Festival fast approaching, we are asking for your support to help us make this year’s event a success.

About Dream Louder

Dream Louder is a community initiative created to inspire and support young musical talent. Our aim is to give children and young people the chance to develop their skills, build confidence and perform in front of a live audience.

The 2026 Dream Louder Music Festival will take place on the 5th - 7th of June at The Monument, Whitstable, bringing together around 50 local young performers. This special event celebrates the creativity, energy and talent of children and young people across Whitstable and the surrounding areas.

Why Your Support Matters

Your donations will help us cover essential costs including:

Festival production such as staging, sound and artist support.

Mentorship opportunities for young musicians to grow and develop.

Inclusive access so the festival remains open and welcoming to all.

Community engagement that brings people together and creates local pride.

Tickets are also on sale now to help us raise funds, but we still need your support to cover the full cost of the event.

If you’d like to come along and show your support, tickets are available here:
