Hit the North, Street Art Festival: 3 May

We are delighted to continue sponsoring Hit the North, Northern Ireland's biggest street art festials, returning on 3rd May. As one of the most anticipated cultural events in the city, Hit the North continues to bring creativity, colour and energy to our streets - and we are proud to play a role in supporting its growth and success. 

This ongoing partnership reflects our commitment to delivering on our core initiatives: Safer, Cleaner, Greener; Business Support and Promotion and Animation. 

Bringing Animation to the Streets 
Hit the North is a perfect example of how animation can transform public spaces. By inviting renowned street artists to create large-scale murals, the event breathes life into the area, attracts visitors and creates a vibrant, engaging environment for everyone who lives, works and spends time here. 

Supporting Local Businesses 
Events like Hit the North drive increased footfall, offering a valuable boost to local businesses. From hospitality venues to independent retailers, the influx of visitors provides opportunities for growth, visibility, and connection. 

Enhancing a Cleaner and Greener Enviroment
Street art initatives contribute to a cleaner, more welcoming urban landscape. By transforming blank or underused walls into curated works of art, Hit the North helps deter vandalism and fosters a sense of pride in the area. This aligns with our ongoing efforts to maintain a cleaner district. 

Creating a Safer, More Welcoming Place
Well-activated, visually engaging spaces encourage positive use and natural surveillance, contributing to safer environment. Events like Hit the North bring people together in a shared cultural experience, helping to build a stronger, more connected community. 

As we look ahead to May 2025, we are excited to continue working alongside organisers, artists and local stakeholders to deliver another outstanding edition of Hit the North. We look forward to seeing our streets transformed once again and welcoming visitors from near and far to experience everything our area has to offer.
