Portglenone's Big Splash Festival has something for all age groups and runs over three days
Planning is well underway for the Big Splash at Portglenone with events to suit all ages taking place from July 23-25.
The Big Splash ‘kicked off’ early this year with 5 A Side football at the Marina last month, with Cullybackey Blues FC winning the cup in an exciting final with Bellaghy Town FC.
The Vintage Rally will take place on Thursday July 23. This Is always a popular event and gets a good turn out from vintage enthusiasts and the public alike. It is an impressive display of well-maintained cars, tractors, and machinery. The Rally sets off at 6pm at the Hawthorne Inn and will do a lap through the town ending at the Marina.
Refreshments will be available in the marquee and there is an opportunity to walk around the vehicles and machinery. This is a great evening with a lovely atmosphere with people who may not have seen each other for a year or two stopping for a chat and a catch up, Friday July 24 is Movie Might which will be on the Big Screen in the Marquee.
There are two screenings from 4pm to 6pm and 7pm to 9pm.
There is a home from home experience with children coming along in cosy clothes and bringing a blanket if they want. There will be free popcorn. Sweets and drinks will be available to buy.
On Saturday July 25, the Family Fun Day will take place at the Marina and in the Community Centre from 11am to 3pm. The day will feature a wide range of activities.
