The Scene
Festival No. 6 takes place in and around the small tourist town of Portmeirion, a fever dream recreation of a typical Italian fishing village. The communal town center hosts a variety of poets, authors, speakers, and bands, while the surrounding brightly colored buildings feature in depth-talks and movie screenings. At the end of town, festies gather over the scenic (and occasionally rainbow boasting) estuary of the River Dwyryd to dance their way into the night.
