Founded in 2005, the Mouth of the Tyne Festival is an annual weekend in July of live music and street theatre in the village of Tynemouth. It originally took place on both sides of the Tyne, before moving to Tynemouth. It consists of outdoor music concerts at Tynemouth Priory and Castle, performances and a pageant, with other activities at Tynemouth Station and the Playhouse Whitley Bay.
It is organised by North Tyneside Council.
