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

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.
