St Helens is also developing a flourishing music scene including the Reminisce Music Festival which attracts over 8,000 visitors for a day and evening of live music in Sherdley Park. The Westfield Street Music Festival, now an annual event held over a weekend in early June, sees over 70 bands performing across 19 venues in the town centre. In addition to these festivals there are a number of independent music venues and events going on throughout the year across the borough. Big name performers regularly appear at Haydock Racecourse and Saints Totally Wicked Stadium.
