Pitch Perfect 2025 at Seaview - What a Day! 🎶

Despite the grey skies and a little rain, nothing could dampen the energy at this year’s Belfast Orangefest Pitch Perfect event at Seaview Stadium. From the moment the gates opened, the atmosphere was buzzing with music, colour and community spirit.

Audiences enjoyed a packed programme of entertainment on the pitch - from traditional marching bands and highland dancers to face painting, balloons, inflatables and family fun. The bar and food stalls kept everyone fuelled, while the stadium rang with laughter, song and celebration.

As the day rolled into night, the Pitch Perfect Party continued in the bar with Fusion keeping the crowd dancing until late.

A huge thank you goes to the Belfast Orangefest team, volunteers, staff, performers and spectators who made the event such a success. Your support and enthusiasm ensured that, rain or shine, the celebration never stopped.

Here’s to doing it all again next year! 🥁🎶🍻

The rain hasn’t stopped a great turnout of performers and spectators at today’s Pitch Perfect at Seaview Stadium.

On until 6pm on the pitch and followed up with music in the bar by Fusion from 7.30pm it’s been a great day so far.

If you’re around for the next couple of hours pop by and say “hello”!
