A spokesperson for the festival committee said: "We are delighted to present this year's programme. The Greater New Lodge Community Festival is where we as a community come together to celebrate and showcase our culture, traditions and talent in a positive, welcoming programme of activities and events. The 2022 festival programme is a mix of theatre, family fun days, workshops, exhibitions, lectures, street parties, debates, sports events, film shows, literature and much more.
"We hope that the diversity of the programme contains something of interest for everyone. We wish to highlight and thank Féile an Phobail and Belfast City Council for their continued support.
