No excuse for being bored in Belfast this weekend…

As you may have seen on the news, James Cameron is in town, promoting the release of ‘Titanic’ on shiny high-def Blu-Ray.  He also has donated some of the costumes and props from the movie for a new temporary exhibition at Titanic Belfast (yep I’ve been in to have a look! – pics below).  And he’s also the star guest at a reception in TB tonight, so as soon as I’ve finished writing this blog post, I’m off to change into my ‘smart casual’ duds in preparation to meet the King of the World!

There’s also lots of activity around the TQ in preparation for the Proms on Titanic’s slipway tomorrow – looks like it’s going to be a fab event.

It’s also the East Belfast Arts Festival this weekend (looking forward to seeing Van the Man tomorrow night) and one of the events is being held in Dock Cafe tonight – a Songwriter’s event at 6pm.

And there’s the air show up at the North coast…

And it’s Belfast Music Week…

And there’s a massive cruise ship berthed in Belfast, so the streets are full of visitors from all over the world…

Aren’t these great days in Belfast City?  It’s hard to reconcile this booming, thrilling city with the empty, grey, quiet streets of a few years ago…
