The much-loved annual event was originally launched to commemorate the remarkable voyage of the ship Friends Goodwill, believed to be the first emigrant ship to sail from Ulster to America in the 18th century.
Today, the festival celebrates that historic journey by bringing the local community together through music, heritage, and fun for all ages.
