Belfast City Council has confirmed that the annual Rose Week festival in Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park will not take place in 2022. In July, thousands of guests flock to the popular South Belfast park to enjoy the summer celebrations and admire the wide displays of roses.
With more than 45,000 roses in bloom between July and September, Lady Dixon Park is a sight to behold. However, due to the lasting impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, the usual festivities are unable to go ahead this month.
The festival has not taken place since 2019.
