There will be live music and fine-dining opportunities, sea-themed talks, and exhibitions presented by experts, local businesses and charities.
The aim for the festival is to celebrate the maritime history of the region and pay tribute to how the natural environment has shaped local traditions, crafts and livelihoods.
The organiser of Homeward Bound Festival, Zack McCracken, said: “This festival will be a joyous and rousing celebration of music, food and culture in old pubs and taverns, smugglers caves and caverns, all along The Living Coast.
