THE National Circus Of Ireland Festival came to a close with a parade through town on Sunday afternoon.

Over the past four days, performers from all over the country have been entertaining  people in workshops, on the streets and in performances around the town in a festival which is gaining in popularity over the years.

Siamsa Tire hosted an almost sell-out show on Saturday, while the workshops in the Fels Point Hotel and Moyderwell were also really successful.

The weather might have put some people off from coming out on Sunday for the parade, but it certainly didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the participants.
