Thousands gathered along the River Foyle today to enjoy a fantastic third day of the Foyle Maritime Festival, with a vibrant programme of activities delivering fun for all ages. Despite the showers, spirits remained high as visitors soaked up the atmosphere, entertainment, live music, street performances and family-friendly activities.
As the festival heads into its final day tomorrow, organisers are looking forward to another packed programme featuring on-water displays, live stage entertainment, children’s activities, food and craft experiences, and opportunities to explore visiting vessels along the quay.
The festival will conclude tomorrow evening with a performance from the fabulous Rock Choir NI and a spectacular fireworks finale over the Foyle at 11pm, promising a memorable end to an outstanding weekend celebration.
