Donaghadee Summer Festival 2025

The Donaghadee Community Development Association is proud to present our bumper Summer Festival Programme for 2025!

As ever, we’ve brought back many of your favourite events from previous years, while also introducing exciting new additions to keep things fresh, fun, and engaging for all. Whether you're a long-time resident or a first-time visitor, we hope you’ll find plenty to enjoy.

Our Association is dedicated to making Donaghadee a better place in which to live, work, and visit. Through our events, environmental projects, and year-round efforts — including the beautiful floral displays that brighten up our town — we aim to build community spirit, foster civic pride, and attract new life and energy to Donaghadee.

This year’s festival features around 100 events delivered by 36 local groups and individuals. This vibrant programme simply wouldn’t be possible without their hard work and enthusiasm, along with the invaluable support of those who help bring it all together behind the scenes.

There truly is something for everyone — from music and dance to history and culture, from energetic activities to more relaxed pastimes. Whether you’re young or young at heart, you’re sure to find something that sparks your interest. So, we warmly invite you to get involved, come along, and help make this a festival to remember.

Special thanks go to Ards and North Down Borough Council, the Ulster-Scots Agency, our generous sponsors, and the PSNI for their ongoing support.

Enjoy the festival!

All events are subject to change. Please check www.visitdonaghadee.com for any changes to the programme.
