The Imagine Arts Festival was the first event of its kind to take place in Northern Ireland, a celebration of arts exclusively for older people by older people. This unique event was created and coordinated by Kaleidoscope with support from the Belfast City Council. The first Imagine Arts Festival took place at the Belfast Waterfront Hall in June 2013 and attracted over 1000 participants. The success of the event led to further festivals in 2014 and 2015.
