Get ready for a weekend filled with unforgettable family moments along the picturesque Maritime Mile in Belfast.
Belfast’s waterfront will be transformed into a vibrant celebration of sea, ships, stories and shared experiences at the Belfast Maritime Festival.
Stretching across the Maritime Mile, the festival invites locals and visitors alike to dive into a weekend of discovery. The iconic Titanic Quarter will be alive with activity, bringing together heritage, innovation and imagination across multiple themed zones.
All Aboard for Maritime Makes!
Step into the world of maritime design and communication with our hands-on Maritime-themed workshops, a celebration of creativity inspired by Belfast’s proud shipbuilding past. Located on Hamilton Dock, these drop-in sessions are perfect for curious kids and imaginative families. We invite young designers to become draughtsmen for the day, sketching their very own Ship of Dreams in blueprint form.
Raise your colours high by crafting a personal nautical signal flag to fly from our replica rigging or dive into the dynamic world of semaphore signalling. Budding sailors can create a vibrant pair of flags in their own colour palette and learn to pass secret messages using our maritime-coded alphabet.
Rooted in the rich traditions of shipyard heritage and seafaring ingenuity, these interactive activities are sure to spark imaginations and bring Belfast’s maritime story vividly to life.
