Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is hosting family fun days on Saturday 6 May to coincide with the historic Coronation at Westminster Abbey.
The Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort will be broadcast on big screens in Ballymena, Larne and Carrickfergus.
As well as large outdoor screens at each venue, a range of free entertainment will be delivered at the People’s Park in Ballymena, Town Park in Larne, and Marine Gardens in Carrickfergus.
Chair of Council’s Coronation Working Group, Councillor Cheryl Brownlee, said: “We are delighted to be providing the perfect opportunity for residents to come together to enjoy the Coronation in our beautiful parks in Mid and East Antrim.
“We are encouraging members of the public to pack a picnic and deckchair, and come out to enjoy what promises to be a great day.
“Further details around timings and a breakdown of activities in each park will be available on Council’s website leading up to the event.”
Other activities planned include the lighting up of key buildings in the area, the planting of Coronation-themed floral displays, the rollout of commemorative coins and special colouring books, tree-planting, jewellery-making workshops, certificates for newborns, exhibitions and talks.
