The Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival returns once again with a jam packed weekend of maritime themed family fun, food and frolics. Belfast is gearing up to welcome the Tall Ships Races back to Belfast from 2-5 July 2015, and the Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival will give you a taste of the excitement you can expect next year.

You’ll have an opportunity to learn more about Belfast’s unique maritime history, to board the tall ships, and you won’t want to miss the thrilling pirate re-enactments on the River Lagan by Vilma and Soteria.  Along the quaysides, children can take part in a fantastic range of free maritime-themed arts and crafts, face painting, balloon modelling and caricature drawings. Enjoy the crazy carry-ons of sea life with laugh out loud street theatre a plenty.
