About

Belfast Maritime Festival will once again welcome a float of vessels and ships to Queen's Quay and Abercorn Basin, where you can hop on board to experience life at sea and meet the crew.

Titanic Quarter will come alive on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September with an array of free entertainment for all to enjoy.

Along the Maritime Mile, there will be a host of local musical talent so kick up your feet and dance to live music, laugh along with our captivating quayside street performers or simply enjoy a relaxing picnic. For the little ones, check out Wee Critters, Mini Explorers and more family fun in Kidszone at Queens Quay.

Head for Titanic Slipways where a host of fun interactive activities, demonstrations and live shows await curious minds of all ages at the Science Street. The packed programme will explore topics such as navigation at sea, marine biology, ship design, climate change and biodiversity.

While you're at the Slipways, check out the best of local producers and makers at the Belfast Bazaar, enjoy live music performances on stage, and take in the iconic setting and ambience that the festival has to offer.

Don’t miss a magical musical voyage on Saturday evening featuring the Hothouse Flowers with special guests Ríoghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet. Tickets £20 and available from Visit Belfast
