Milton Keynes is set for a summer to remember as McCarthy’s Sports Bar hosts the first-ever Parkfest 2025 – a three-day celebration of music, entertainment, and community spirit from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th July 2025.

Located in Bletchley, McCarthy’s Sports Bar is already known as a hub for sport and live music – but this summer, it’s stepping things up with an outdoor festival that promises something for everyone. With three themed days packed with DJs, live bands, kids’ entertainment, food vendors, and family-friendly attractions, Parkfest 2025 looks set to become a highlight of the Milton Keynes events calendar.

🎧 Friday 4th July – House DJ Night (18+)

The weekend kicks off in style with a high-energy evening for dance music lovers. From 5pm until late, the beer garden at McCarthy’s will be transformed into an open-air dancefloor with a full line-up of local house and electronic DJs.

Line-up includes:

• DJ Mais

Brought to you by Funky Grooves Promotions, this is the perfect night for those who love deep beats, great drinks, and a festival vibe right in the heart of Bletchley.

🎸 Saturday 5th July – Indie Rock All-Dayer

On Saturday, the vibe shifts to guitars and anthems with a full day of live indie rock. Headlining the day are none other than The Bluetones, the iconic 90s Britpop band known for hits like "Slight Return" and "Marblehead Johnson".

Joining them will be a full supporting line-up of local and regional acts, curated by Box Monsters Promotions. Expect passionate performances, a great crowd, and a full outdoor bar and food offering to keep you going from afternoon into evening.

👨‍👩‍👧 Sunday 6th July – Family Fun Day

Rounding off the weekend is a fantastic Family Fun Day, perfect for parents, kids, and anyone looking for a relaxed and lively Sunday out.
