Féile na hAbhann returns to the River Lagan this weekend

Féile na hAbhann (Festival of the River), returns for its 5th year, now a staple of the Belfast Festival calendar.

Sunday 4th 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 Clare Sands, String Ninjas, Magwere and Brendan Quinn and guests on 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, take part in some cultural dance, crafts or music.

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!
