Local musicians, flute bands, silver bands and traditional performers will take to the stage at Antrim Castle Gardens, Sixmilewater Park in Ballyclare and Jordanstown Loughshore Park.

Performances will run from 2pm to 4pm, giving families and visitors the opportunity to enjoy live music in some of the Borough’s most scenic outdoor spaces.
