The festival now in it’s fourth year and features everything from international sporting events, to historic lectures, family days out, and Watersports taster sessions centred at Lough Neagh’s main marinas.

This year’s festival will be held from 21st – 30th August and promises to be as exhilarating and fun filled as last year. Eimear Kearney, Marketing Officer of Lough Neagh Partnership said “Lough Neagh Fest promises to show people a different side to the Lough, we are hoping that local people will support the celebration of the Provinces most valuable natural asset”

Lough Neagh Fest kicks off on 21st August with a superb boating event ‘Cruise the Lough’, a guided tour of the Lough by sail or power vessel and is open to owners of suitable vessels. It is a fantastic spectator event for all the family and there will be a heritage boat display throughout the day at Kinnego Marina. 3n
