A partnership taking shape

Linen Quarter BID’s announcement of RE[act] 2026 describes an expansion through partnerships with BIDs in Dundalk, Sligo and Dublin. The festival dates are 9–15 November, with climate and sustainability at the centre of the programme.

The announcement refers to more than 30 events in Belfast. That figure is not a Dundalk event count. The source establishes Dundalk’s involvement as a partner, rather than confirming a local venue, timetable or bookable Dundalk session.

Follow the programme as it develops

The organiser’s website is the place to check the evolving programme, event locations and booking requirements. Anyone planning to attend should confirm those details for the particular session they choose.

A useful connection for business

Our perspective & suggestions

Our view: the value of an all-island partnership is the chance to exchange practical ideas. For a town-centre business, sustainability can start with a question about energy, waste, transport or the way a premises is used.

This story marks a published partnership announcement. It is an invitation to follow the programme and look for relevant sessions, rather than a claim that particular projects or local outcomes have already been delivered. Businesses interested in the Dundalk connection can ask the BID team for confirmed local information.
