About the festival
We're holding the Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival over the late May Bank Holiday weekend in 2013.

Climb onboard tall ships, watch swashbuckling pirate re-enactments on the River Lagan, take in a Titanic-themed talk or tour, test your skills at laser quest and enjoy free family entertainment and street theatre along the quayside, including arts and crafts, face painting, balloon modelling and caricature drawings. You'll also see the newly restored SS Nomadic, the boat that transported first-class passengers to RMS Titanic (public tours of the vessel begin 1 June 2013, 10am- 6pm; for booking details visit www.nomadicbelfast.com).
