Friends Goodwill Music Festival is back for 2025!  A packed programme of live music, dancing, family entertainment, children's activities and street theatre.

Saturday – Broadway Beats

(No admission fee)

The festivities kick off on Saturday afternoon in the heart of Larne with a vibrant mini festival on Broadway.

From 1pm to 4pm, enjoy a free and fun-filled afternoon of live music and family-friendly activities.
A fantastic line-up of local musical talent will take the stage, including The Music Yard, Coach, Neon Void, and Back in the Saddle. A quiet hour will take place from 12pm, featuring sensory play and a calmer environment designed for those with additional needs, ahead of the music beginning.

Saturday (evening) - Concert 

We are delighted to welcome Mary Coughlan, Frances Black and Sharon Shannon, The 4 of Us, and The Lee Hedley Band, to perform at Larne's historic Market Yard for one special session on Saturday 7 June, gates open from 6pm. There will be tasty food wagons and a bar on site.

Book your tickets now (£18.90 + booking fee). 
Physical tickets are also available to purchase directly from The Market Yard prior to the event.

Sunday - Family Friendly Event

The fun continues on Sunday 8 June at the scenic Curran Park, where families can enjoy a lively afternoon from 1pm to 4pm, packed with activities for all ages.
Take in the relaxing sounds of live performances by The Ballymena Ukulele Group and the ever-popular Martello Jazz Band.

Little ones (and the young at heart!) will love the petting farm, circus skills workshop, sensory messy play, and a whole host of games, face painting, and crafts.
For children who may need a break from the bustle, a dedicated quiet area will be available away from the music and noise, offering a calm and comfortable space to unwind. A changing places unit will also be available.
