About the Festival

Each year, we unite under the international banner of the Red Flag Festival

Join us at the Jim Connell - Red Flag Festival 2026 June Bank Holiday for a gathering that grows in impact and energy each year, bringing together passionate organisers, leaders, and activists committed to strengthening the movement worldwide.

We invite international trade unionists from across the globe as we build momentum and elevate the experience. Many participants have returned to their workplaces inspired, putting into practice the practical insights and strategies shared by our exceptional speakers and authors.

This event fosters open conversations about organising, growing our movement, and sharing real experiences from different regions and industries — providing a valuable opportunity to build lasting networks and celebrate diverse cultures that strengthen our international trade union community.
