Tens of thousands of people are beginning to arrive in Belfast city centre for one of the busiest days of the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann
It is the largest celebration of Irish music and culture in the world
Gigs and concerts started around 12:00BST across the city
The city is hosting the event for the first time, and it is expected to bring an economic boost of more than £50m
Organisers are expecting 800,000 people to visit Belfast this week
Northern Ireland's transport operator Translink say they have recorded over 1 million passenger journeys already this week
Traffic disruption is expected as large parts of the city centre have been pedestrianised
