“The city centre will come alive this weekend as the Carnival of Colours returns to our streets and public spaces around the Guildhall,” said Mayor McHugh.
“It’s a great opportunity for families to come into the city centre, enjoy the performers and take part in the interactive activities.
“The programme has a big emphasis on creating a space where young people can express themselves and be inspiring the next generation of arts and circus performers.
