All systems go for NW 200
The festivities kick off on Saturday May 8th with NIKA Kart Racing at Portrush. Many family events are planned. The always popular Sunny and Rainbow Clown Show, Mini Moto Racing, a Queen tribute act, a U2 tribute act and many more shows and activities will make their way to the Triangle Area.
The festival will welcome the Continental Market to Portrush for the first time. The hugely successful annual fixture at Belfast’s City Hall will undoubtedly draw equally large crowds during its time at Metropole Corner from Wed. 12th – Sunday 16th May.
