Other highlights include the return of the colourful Carnival Parade, this year’s theme is Beasts and Feasts, which takes place on Sunday 2 August and wends its way up the Falls Road to Falls Park, where it becomes Party in the Park.

This year’s headliners at Party in the Park are Louis Walsh’s latest boy band protégés, Hometown who join a host of other music acts plus bouncy castles, assault courses, street theatre, a climbing tower, archery, falconry and much more family fun besides.

The hotly anticipated Scribes at the Rock event this year features a wealth of literary talent including internationally best-selling author Marian Keyes.

A packed programme also includes a wealth of other talks, tours, discussions, debates, theatre and family events which nestle alongside big headlining music and comedy acts to make Féile 2015 the biggest and most inclusive in its 27 years.
