This year’s Red Sails Festival has a packed programme of music, dancing, craft and kids events. Now in its 23rd year, the festival is supported by Radius Housing, and will see family events taking places across Portstewart over the last week of July.
The Red Sails cross community festival in Portstewart has been running annually since 1968. Initially known as Portstewart Carnival run by St Mary’s Star of the Sea Church, in 2000 it changed its name to the Red Sails Festival run by Portstewart Community Association. The festival’s roots are in Good Relations as a cross community festival with origins in bringing together kids from right across the town.
