We have exciting news! Belfast Bands Forum, in association with Belfast City Council, is proud to invite expressions of interest from performers and groups wishing to take part in a spectacular outdoor showcase festival celebrating the very best of our marching band traditions.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Titanic Slipways, this is a rare
opportunity to perform at one of Belfast's most iconic and historic locations before a large public audience.
The event will bring together the full breadth of our rich cultural heritage — from our flute and accordion bands the forum represents through to the thunderous beat of the Lambeg drum to the precision of the drum major and the soaring sound of the pipes — in a shared celebration of talent, tradition, and community pride.
This event forms part of the Belfast Fleadh 2026 core programme.
