Events include the Mela, St Patrick's Day, a 'Wellfest' and Circus Vegas
At a Belfast City Council committee meeting in City Hall, six events were confirmed for Boucher Road Playing fields, Ormeau Park, Cathedral Gardens, Botanic Gardens, Victoria Park, and Waterworks Park.
The council approved a request from Belfast City Marathon to use both Ormeau Park and the Waterworks to deliver the full marathon event in May and the use of both Ormeau Park and Victoria Park to support the delivery of the half Marathon event in September. The Belfast Marathon was awarded World Label status in 2024 making it the only full marathon on the Island of Ireland to be awarded this. The event organisers have recruited 15,000 volunteers to help officiate the marathons and in 2024 the full marathon generated over £12 million for the city and the half marathon generated £8 Million with around 70,000 spectators attending the event annually.
The event brings together leading names in health, fitness and wellness to deliver live workouts, educational talks and “create memories that will inspire those who attend for the long term.” The event is over two-days, Saturday and Sunday May 24 and 25, between 9am and 6.30pm. Price tickets are the Weekend early bird - £68, the Saturday/Sunday early bird - £47, the Weekend final release - £75 and Saturday/Sunday final release - £58. Each ticket purchased includes free entry for up to two children under the age of 12 as it is designed to be a family friendly event.
