On Sunday 5th of September Seedhead Arts and Hennessy present Hit The North street art festival — bringing some of the world’s best artists to Belfast for a socially distanced festival on Union Street and Kent Street. The event, now in its 9th year, has transformed the visual landscape across the city centre and Cathedral Quarter, with over 300 murals painted to date. 

This year’s event will feature 50 local and international artists, with an array of styles and techniques on show, as onlookers watch the artworks develop throughout the day with drinks on offer from Sunflower Bar.

Hit the North Street Art Festival was established by Seedhead Arts and the Community Arts Partnership in 2013 as a response to vacant space along North Street. Hit the North is our spray art festival which runs in September every year. The festival also has a community engagement programme for groups to take part in.
