About

Around the Town is back for a second year with 22 events across 9 days. 

Around The Town loves local – we can’t be more clear than that. Local people in local places, having a great time and loving where we live is what ATT is all about. In 2024 we created a first of it’s kind in Carrickfergus, festival week where there’s a platform for musicians, artists, performers and production crew who live in Carrickfergus – no more talent leaving town just to be seen and heard.

This year we have another jam packed program with 22 events including: 5 premium evenings, 5 lunchtime recitals, 4 supported living specials, 1 half day finale and more. Also a  first for Carrickfergus – we are introducing stand up comedy to the line up for 2025.

From bagpipes and fife & drums, punk pop and showtunes, to Abba and disco – there is so much happening this year - check our website for all the details.
