Dear friends and colleagues,
|
We are excited to bring the final edition of our Newsletter before the summer break with a range of Northern Ireland festivals for you to enjoy.
|
Start by diving into East Side Arts Festival to experience East Belfast’s culture, music, and meet some familiar faces from previous cultural events in our Office. Féile an Phobail will entertain you with an extensive programme of activities and concerts while this year’s Belfast Pride Festival will culminate in a virtual parade on Saturday 1 August. Finally, Youth Action Northern Ireland’s Fringe Festival caters to festival enthusiasts aged 6-18, so that you can include your whole family in this festival themed fun over the coming weeks.
|
We look forward to bringing you a new and improved Newsletter in September and, in the meantime, wish you and your family a relaxing summer. As always, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Join in with Belfast Pride Week 2020 and celebrate diversity in Northern Ireland. Be sure to not only join the virtual Pride Parade on Saturday 1 August but also check out countless other activities including talks, shows, and parties, all to be found on Belfast Pride’s social media pages. This year’s Pride stands under the theme ‘Rainbow Heroes’ and aims to highlight LGBT+ people who have been playing their part in helping us all through the COVID-19 pandemic.
