Broadisland Gathering Festival

02 September 2014, 12:00, Ballycarry village

Runs to 06 September 2014

The annual Broadisland Gathering festival will be held during the week beginning September 1, with the main Gathering day taking place on Saturday September 6, between 12.00 and 18.00. The main focus in Ballycarry's calendar, the event promises a rich mix of pipe bands, Ulster-Scots groups, dancing, pageantry and re-enactment.

With several smaller events dotted around the village in the run up to Saturday, outdoor events planned at the new village amphitheater at Fairhill and with new street banners provided by the Ulster-Scots Agency, Ballycarry is set to be every bit the Ulster-Scots Heritage Village that it rightly proclaims itself.

 

There will be a good mix of performances by Ulster-Scots bands, Piping, Highland dancing, musical groups, re-enactors, speakers and lots more.  The full programme for the festival will be available on the website over the coming weeks.

There are also plans to relocate the main Gathering at a central and more compact site while having the main pageant parade process through the village as normal.   For further details visit
