The first festival was held in 1950, inspired by car rallies which Tom Rolt, one of the founders of the Inland Waterways Association, had attended prior to the Second World War.
It was held at Market Harborough, as the location was not restricted to narrowboats.
The rally was called the Market Harborough Festival of Boats and Arts.
