Food, music, drumming and dancing will be key features of the event on Sunday, September 13, along with activities for children, bouncy castle, face painting and a henna artist.
The event celebrates the history of the museum’s HMS Trincomalee which was built in Bombay, India, and then patrolled seas across the world for the Royal Navy.
The festival, on from noon to 6pm, will see South East Asian and African food served up by local restaurants while alongside traditional English fare.
Bollywood music from Mahfuz Khan will also add to the atmosphere.
The Royal Navy Museum has worked closely with Hartlepool community organisation Link Project to create the festival.
Children’s craft activities will take place in the Museum of Hartlepool, while a Community Village of local community group stands, will be held in the car park.
Admission is £5 adults and £2 children.
