Come and celebrate the Ulster-Scots cultural heritage of Carrickfergus in the very heart of Scotch Quarter!

Don’t miss the annual Scotch Quarter Festival in Carrickfergus on Saturday August 16 and Sunday 17 right in the heart of Scotch Quarter!  Featuring all things Ulster-Scots, there will be live Ulster-Scots music, cookery demonstrations, historical re-enactment, Highland dancing and a selection of family-orientated activities! 

On Sunday August 17, we combine the Ulster-Scots theme with International Walled Towns Day when visitors will be entertained by a veritable host of re-enactors, historical vignettes and tours will combine to bring the unique and cultural history of our special walled town to life! Carrickfergus is only one of two walled towns in Northern Ireland so come along and help us celebrate International Walled Towns Day!
