Visitors and locals enjoyed world-class entertainment, the historic tall ships, stunning maritime attractions as well as the maritime markets and hospitality from our city and district’s local businesses.
From family fun to spectacular sights on the water, the first night of the four-day festival got off to an unforgettable start. Headline act, Altan, took to the main stage later in the evening where a packed bar enjoyed the amazing out-door concert experience while overlooking the River Foyle.
