Procession, 18:30

As evening approaches, join the carnival procession through Millisle to the shore, marking the Siren’s symbolic journey to the sea. Accompanied by drummers, dancers, and artists showcasing skills from the workshop programme, the procession will culminate with the Siren’s song, performed by choirs from across the peninsula.

The Siren delivers her powerful message through song, music, and dance, calling out across the waves as the evening draws to a close. Together, we’ll send pennants and messages onward to the next Beach of Dreams destination in Scotland, creating a shared connection across the coasts.
