Titanic Céilí

As part of the opening weekend of Belfast TradFest everyone is invited to take part in the TITANIC CÉILÍ. A free, one day outdoor family event on Sun 27th July 1-5pm, celebrating traditional music, song, and dance at the Titanic Slipways on Belfast’s Maritime Mile.

Last year’s event attracted 10,000 revellers and the music stage will feature Pólca 4, Meadhbh Walsh, Róise McHugh, Down Academy Pipes & Drums, Belfast Ukulele Jam, Belfast Wren Boys and Glengormley School of Traditional Music.

The event, in association with Maritime Belfast, includes an outdoor Céilí, with sets such as The Waves of Tory and Siege of Ennis, called by dance master Ronán Eastwood for all ages to experience. The fun doesn’t stop there with Bodhrán circles, children’s maritime art workshops, face painters and a live four-hour traditional music session on the deck of the SS Nomadic also taking place.
