The food, fashion, music, people and opportunities have been showcased, among many other unique aspects of Donegal life.
Countless scenic posts have also been shared to inspire travel to the north west.
Donegal people, photographers, sports teams and local organisations as well as Donegal-born celebrities and influencers have been celebrating their connection to the county today, and here are just some of the highlights:
Today is #LoveDonegal day, when everyone at home and abroad is asked to share photos of why they love this county.

Extremely fortunate to do what I love in a place I love living. #LoveDonegal & it’s easy to see why from this panoramic view of the Blue Flag, Narin/Portnoo Beach. A little way off the coast is the island of Inishkeel where you’ll find the remains of 2 churches. #KeepDiscovering pic.twitter.com/AbMqTzV3Z7
