Get ready for a Hoedown on 11th June!

Glengormley’s Uptown Hoedown returns on Saturday 11 June with a fun-packed day of entertainment for all the family in Glengormley Park.

A free family funzone with bouncy castles, face painting, arts & crafts and dance workshops will take place from 12-6pm. Younger kids will love the teddy bears’ picnic and kids games from 1-5pm – don’t forget to bring your picnic!

Stall holders from Newtownabbey’s Speciality Market will display their wares in the park and you can take your chance on the Kentucky Derby and rodeo bull.

Citybeat will also host the Glengormley heat of the Newtownabbey’s Next Big Thing talent competition. The winners of this heat will compete against the winners of August’s Shoreline Festival heat at the finale which will take place at the Big Busking Bonanza in September in Ballyclare.

The musical entertainment will start at 3pm with “Shine” performing favourite songs for all the family. Garth Brooks and Eagles Tribute acts will take to the stage for an evening concert at 7pm. The bouncy castles will stay into the evening, so if mum and dad want to listen to the concert, kids can play away in the background!

So get yourself down to Glengormley Park on 11 June for some toe-tapping fun.
