“It’s all about encouraging us all to lose our shoes as we join together to connect through an original and exciting live line-up involving performances representing diverse ethnic cultures including Irish Traditional music with Frontman of The Hot House Flowers, Liam Ó Maonlaí who transcends borders, minds and souls. We also have performances from Los Dramaticos (Latin American Music), Releasing Rhythms (African Drumming/Dance), Balkan Alien Sound (Folk/Gypsy Brass Band), Inishowen Gospel Choir, School of Highland Dance (Ulster Scots) & Ukulele Strings. The showcase event on the main stage will also include a performance by young people with learning/physical disabilities entitled "I Am Me" which promotes seeing the young person first and not the disability".
“The name of the event “Barefoot & Fancy Free” is based upon the idea of removing your shoes, considered a sign of respect to all regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, ability or gender and re-connect with ourselves and with others showing peace, love and respect.”
‘Barefoot & Fancy Free’ will take place at The Playtrail, Racecourse Road on Sunday 23rd September from 1- 6pm. Adult £2 & Child £1 or Family Ticket (2 adults & 2 kids) £5.
