The 4, 5 and 6 of June 2004 was the start of a biennial project to be called The Raithby Festival. A mixture of evening concerts and daytime events, including Open Gardens, teas, historic buildings plus crafts/gifts, memorabilia and bygones displays.

The evening concerts were held on Friday, 4 June with the popular Banovallum Singers with a wide range of classical opera and show songs. The evening included cheese and wine.

The evening of the 5 June saw a complete contrast with swing music by The Blue Stones Band. People are encouraged to bring along something to sit on and plenty to eat and drink and have a Picnic in the Park.

On Sunday afternoon at 4pm there was a Hog Roast at the Red Lion and the weekend ended on Sunday evening with the Trinity Sunday Service held at 6.30pm in the Methodist Chapel.
