BELFAST FESTIVAL SET TO MAKE THE RIVER LAGAN COME TO LIFE THIS WEEKEND
Féile na hAbhann (Festival of the River), returns for its 4th year, now a staple of the Belfast Festival calendar. Sunday 6th August promises a day of family fun on the Lagan Walkway with an even bigger and better line-up of free music, Watersports, culture, kids activities, food, arts and crafts for all communities to enjoy.
This year the music offering is something special with John Spillane, Joshua Burnside and other local talent taking to the main stage.
Aside from music, there is a diverse range of family-friendly goings-on across the half-mile stretch of the river between the Shaftesbury Recreation Centre and the Albert Bridge, with something for all ages to enjoy. Why not have a go at some Watersports, relax on the urban beach, tackle an inflatable assault course, meet the mermaids, enjoy a circus show and much much more. A firm favourite with the kids, the Dinosaur Experience will also return to the Lagan Walkway where you’ll have the opportunity to get up close and personal with a T-Rex!
Following on from last years inaugural Trad Night @ St Georges Market which raised the roof for a record audience, Féile will be delivering a bigger and better experience @ St Georges on Tuesday 8th August with the amazing Kila headlining the stage and support from John McSherry, Francis McIlDuff and Brendan Quinn.
This event is part of Féile na hAbhann community festival which runs across South and East Belfast communities. You can find out more information on this and other free community activities at feilenahabhann.com or across social media. The festival is organised and supported by local South and East Belfast Community organisations and Féile an Phobail, Belfast City Council, NIHE and Clanmil Housing Association.
