In collaboration with Rathlin Development and Community Association, Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council is bringing you this hugely popular celebration of the Rathlin Sound – the body of water connecting Rathlin Island to Ballycastle.

With a programme packed full of activities on the land and sea, there’s sure to be something for everyone!

Visitors can look forward to a diverse programme of live music performances, wild cookery demonstrations, ‘have a go’ activities, crafts, talks, falconry and a number of local makers and producers at the Naturally North Coast & Glens Artisan Market.

For the adults, there’s information on traditional boat making, talks, live music, have-a-go paddleboarding and wild cookery demonstrations, whilst for the children, there’s falconry, have-a-go kayaking sessions and sand sculpting.

The festival starts on Friday 23rd May with the Blessing of the Boats, a poignant reflection of the ocean and a blessing to ensure a safe boating season.
