BIAF 2023: Relive the highlights of the 61st Belfast Festival

Established in 1962, the city’s longest-running international arts festival, reimagined and reborn as Belfast International Arts Festival (BIAF) in 2015, celebrated 61 years with a new season of contemporary arts and cultural events.

Our 2023 autumn edition from 12 October – 5 November featured the very best in international and homegrown artists across theatre, dance, music, visual arts, literature and film.

BIAF’s principal funder is the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and is also supported by Belfast City Council, British Council, the Government of Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs, Tourism Northern Ireland and a range of project funders and sponsors.
