Strabane is eagerly anticipating the return of the Summer Jamm Festival on Saturday, June 7th.

The day promises a wealth of family fun running from 12pm to late, with a significant highlight being the celebration of Strabane’s rich musical heritage through the inaugural Music Trail.

As dusk approaches, the town will transform into a melodic wonderland. The Music Trail, in conjunction with Strabane BID, commences at 4pm and continues into the night across Strabane’s pubs.

Attendees are invited to follow their ‘Music Map’ from bar to bar, discovering and celebrating the incredible talent of local musicians and bands. This trail is more than just a series of performances. It’s a testament to Strabane’s thriving artistic community and a unique opportunity to experience a diverse array of genres in welcoming local venues.

Among the artists taking part are DJ Ryan Doc, Adam Dolan, Sticks Doherty, DJ Johnny G, The Brambles, David Doc, DJ Paul Carlin, Louis McTeggert, Darren Doherty, Nicky McCallan, Glen Rouse, Darragh Doherty and Ryan Quigg, Ragamuffins, Roddy Lynch and 2Vague.

Throughout the afternoon and evening they will be appearing at the Harp and Fiddle, XOX, Christy’s Bar, The Railway Bar, Dicey’s Bar, the Fir Trees Hotel, Charlie’s Bar and the Farmers’ Home.

“The Music Trail is truly the beating heart of our evening festivities at Summer Jamm this year,” says Cllr Lilian Seenoi Barr, Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council.

“We are incredibly proud to showcase the exceptional musical talent we have right here in Strabane. This trail offers an intimate and authentic way for both residents and visitors to connect with our local culture, support our artists, and enjoy a fantastic atmosphere in our town’s pubs. It’s the perfect end to what promises to be a brilliant day.”

From acoustic sets to lively DJs, the Music Trail features a packed schedule across numerous venues, ensuring there’s something to suit every musical taste. Attendees can craft their own personalised musical journey, hopping between pubs to catch their favourite acts or discover new ones.

Adding to the day’s excitement, the popular Bear Run ’74 Supercar event is coming to Strabane for the first time. Bear Run ’74 will take over Railway Street in full throttle fashion – a fierce spectacle of luxurious supercars lined from the Alley Theatre right up to Abercorn Square.

Think chrome, growls, and glam: Strabane won’t know what hit it.

The event showcases an impressive display of supercars while raising vital funds for the Mayor’s chosen charity. The stunning Lamborghini Revuelto, sure to be the number one attraction at this year’s Bear Run ’74, boasts impressive performance credentials.

The supercar achieves 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 217 mph. It’s guaranteed to turn heads at this year’s Summer Jamm.

Beyond the music and roaring engines, the Summer Jamm Festival offers a host of other family-friendly attractions including a new Street Art Festival with interactive selfie murals, the Kidz Farm petting zoo, dinosaur encounters, and urban sports activities.

The festival also features a diverse Arts and Crafts and Food Quarter, and dedicated family entertainment at The Alley Theatre.

The Summer Jamm Festival takes place on Saturday, June 7th from 12pm to late, with the Music Trail beginning at 4pm. Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the sounds and sights of Strabane at this exciting community celebration.
