🌞 Welcome to the THIRD and FINAL day of Festival of Fools 2026, and yes… May the Fourth be with you (we're apparently legally supposed to say that...🖖)

After a weekend of glorious chaos, we’re going out with a bang. Today’s programme stretches across SIX sites, including two brand new additions in York Lane at @ulsterpresents , plus an unmissable indoor show inside @themacbelfast (the only ticketed show at just £5, everything else is completely free, and everyone’s welcome). @2royalave will open all day for more Bemusement Games!

And look at that, the sun’s decided to show up for the finale. About time.

So come soak it all in, chase down your favourite acts, discover something unexpected, and help us make this final day one to remember.

We’ll see you out there for the grand finale. 🎪

Thank you — yes, you — for attending Day 2 of Festival of Fools 2026. Your enthusiasm, laughter, and questionable decision-making have been noted and filed under “Highly Commendable Nonsense.”

What a day it was… feats of daring, displays of delight!

But steady on, do not wander off into the hills just yet!

We have ONE 👏 MORE 👏 DAY 👏 tomorrow. The GRAND FINALE. The big one. The cheese course of chaos. And it would be a terrible shame (a terrible shame) if you missed it.

So gather your friends, your tennis partner, your auntie who laughs too loudly, and join us one last time.

Same spirit. Bigger silliness. Final flourish. 🎪

Good people of the realm! A thunderous THANK YOU for joining us on the opening day of Festival of Fools 2026 you were magnificent, ridiculous, and only mildly suspicious.

We’ve seen things today… juggling, jesting, general tomfoolery… and things you won't believe emerge from a cardboard box.

But brace yourselves, this is merely the beginning!

We return tomorrow and Monday with EVEN MORE madness, more mischief, and a juggler or two 🤹

Same time, same place, see you there! 🎪
