There will be lots of nautical fun both on and off the water at the popular Sea Bangor Festival on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June. This year’s free-to-attend Festival marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings and a 1940s themed programme is planned to commemorate the occasion. A great programme of music acts will bring a nostalgic feel to the city with a lively mix of ‘40s favourites, and Quay Street Car Park will have a holiday atmosphere with 1940s themed fun!

While kids can enjoy activities at the beach area, funfair rides and entertainment throughout the weekend, Eisenhower Pier will host some fantastic food demos at the Demo Kitchen. Chefs from South Eastern Regional College (SERC) will create tasty dishes using fresh, local produce, and you will be able to pick up some delicious treats from a range of local food and drink stalls, hot food trucks, ice cream, and an outdoor bar.
Entertainment will be provided by the Leading Ladies and Soda Popz. The Leading Ladies are billed as Northern Ireland’s premier vocal harmony trio. They are award-winning singers and have been performing a broad range of musical styles for 20 years. The sensational Soda Popz will add to the atmosphere with their high energy, nostalgic Rock ‘n Roll show. The Bangor singers and local musicians will provide an authentic tribute to some fabulous favourites.
Adding to the occasion will be lots of friendly rivalry in the annual rowing competition on Saturday 1 June (12noon to 2.30pm) where local teams battle it out to secure the prestigious rowing cup! For more information, go to visitardsandnorthdown.com/seabangor.
