‘Positive’ festival, MEA told

Whitehead Summer Festival is to make a return this year, members of Mid and East Antrim Council have been told.

Organisers have been granted permission from the local government authority for the use of council-owned facilities during the programme of events, which kicks off on July 24.

The Food and Folk Festival will take place at the recreation grounds on July 25, with five-a-side football on July 28 and August 6. On Saturday, August 8, the Mod and Rockers event will be held at Blackhead car park.

In a report presented to members, it was noted that the event is “historically well managed” and is “very positive within the community”.
