What's On along the Causeway Coastal Route

Everything you see as you make your way along the Causeway Coastal Route will etch itself into your memory. But beyond the splendour of the scenery are the incredible people you'll meet and their celebrations in song and dance, in food and the fairs and festivals that bring them together every year. Some highlights include...

Folk, trad and more at IMBOLC Festival (Tues 28 Jan - Tues 4 Feb 2025)

The IMBOLC International Music Festival takes place in Derry~Londonderry and is one of Ireland’s leading folk and world music festivals. While this event still has firm roots in the musical cultures of this island, it has grown in depth. You can expect to see and hear performances in folk, traditional and roots to jazz, contemporary and world music. Alongside concerts, the festival also has an extensive programme of music and dance workshops including Sean-nós, two hands dance workshops, song-writing workshops and a weekend-long Band Camp for young traditional musicians.

North West 200 Race Week (Mon 5 - Sat 10 May 2025)

Northern Ireland is the home of motorcycle racing on closed public roads and every May the beautiful Causeway Coast plays host to one of the sport's most spectacular events. It attracts the World’s top road racers drawing thousands of visitors to the superfast 8.9-mile circuit that links the towns of Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine. Racers like Michael Dunlop, Glenn Irwin and more thrill the 100,000 + fans who come to enjoy the weeklong festival of speed on roads that locals normally use to make their way to work. The event has become a mecca for motorcycle fans, offering the opportunity to explore the history of road racing alongside enjoying the high-speed thrills of a week of racing action. It is a must-see event for everyone, confirmed petrol heads and new recruits alike!

Stendhal Festival, Limavady (Wed 4 - Fri 6 July 2025)

With over 8 stages spread across the main arena, woodlands and Karma Valley, the programme is packed with an amazing array of performances, art, workshops, and activities for all ages. The festival organisers say they hope to “bring the very best in the arts each and every year for as long as we all shall live” and every year they deliver. The festival takes place on Ballymully Cottage Farm and since starting in 2010, has really put Limavady on the cultural map.
