Belfast International Arts Festival returns this month for its 61st edition, with a 26-day extravaganza of talks, readings, exhibitions and performances from home and abroad.
Moreover, BIAF is a wonderful celebration of the city’s vibrant cultural scene and rich heritage, and a chance for people from all ages and backgrounds to come together to enjoy great art on their doorstep. This will be part of a simultaneous opening as the festival’s collaboration with Cahoots NI on the company’s latest stage show, The Vanishing Elephant, opens at the New Victory Theatre on Broadway in New York.
The following evening, October 18, Dungiven-born folk star Cara Dillon will return to Belfast to perform songs from her new album Coming Home, accompanied by original music written by Sam Lakeman. Other musical highlights this year include performances from The Waterboys, Teenage Fanclub, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Declan O’Rourke and Seth Lakeman.
