Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Deirdre Varsani welcomed the launch of this year’s Lumarina:
“I am delighted to welcome Lumarina back to Ballyronan Marina for another year. As a rural district, our towns, villages and communities are at the heart of everything we do, and Lumarina is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to come together and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of our lough shore. With live music, spectacular performances, family entertainment and a breathtaking illuminated fireworks finale, there is something for all ages to enjoy.
“Lumarina reflects the welcoming and inclusive spirit of Mid Ulster, showcasing the unique character and hospitality of our local communities. I look forward to seeing residents and visitors alike enjoy this much-loved celebration.”
To accommodate the expected crowds, additional parking will be available at two adjacent in-field sites, with stewards and signage to direct attendants. Additional parking for blue badge holders will be provided within the Marina. A community bus will be arranged as a shuttle service, providing transportation to and from the field car parks to assist disabled patrons
The site will be closed to the public from 10pm on Friday 14 August.
A one-way traffic system will be implemented, entering from B18 Shore Road and exiting at the Ballynagarve Road junction, effective from 3pm to 11pm on the day of the event.
In-field car parking is available adjacent to the Marina on the Shore Road and on the Ballyronan Road. Please obey the marshals who will guide you to a space. Please do not obstruct footpaths and be mindful of local resident access. There is no parking permitted in coned areas.
