BANGOR Christmas Festival has been cancelled just days before the event was due to take place, with the council citing health and safety concerns.
The festive celebration was due to take place on Saturday (December 13) but has been called off by Bangor City Council.
In an announcement yesterday, the council said this was due to "adverse weather" and "associated health and safety concerns".
The authority said the safety of performers, visitors and staff was its "highest priority".
It did not say if the event would be held on another date.
A Bangor City Council statement read: "Bangor City Council regrets to announce that the Bangor Christmas Festival 2025, planned for this Saturday, 13 December, has been cancelled due to adverse weather forecasts and associated health and safety concerns.
"The council recognises the excitement and anticipation that had built around the event and the disappointment this cancellation may cause.
"However, the safety of residents, visitors, performers and staff remains the council's highest priority, and the forecast conditions mean the event cannot proceed safely.
"Bangor City Council thanks the community, partners, and participants for their understanding and continued support, and looks forward to delivering future events for the community."
