Letterkenny shoppers, locals and visitors alike will get the chance to enjoy live entertainment on Main Street this weekend.
The Letterkenny branch of Comhaltas in association with ShopLK are staging a “Turas Ceoil Traidisiúnta”, a Traditional Music Trail, in Letterkenny on Saturday 21 st August, 12.30pm.- 3.30pm, starting at the Museum, High Road and continuing to McCaffertys pub Lower Main St.
Letterkenny is now the biggest town in Donegal and continues to grow, but have you ever wondered how it came to be? Some of these answers will be placed at various points around Leitir Ceanainn and people are invited to spend the afternoon discovering the history of the town.
Along the way, there will be street sessions and chances to reminisce of the All-Irelands of 05 and 06, dander down from the Cathedral through the market square as one fiddler finishes a reel and another starts to sing “She Moved Through the Fair”.
Learn a cúpla focal from geailgeoirs or how to make a hens basket from straw from the craftsmen and women.
This is an open air event with no tickets, artists/musicians/actors will be performing on the street from 12:30 – 3:30 culminating with a main session from the branch under the bandstand in the market square from 3pm -5pm.
Seo deis ar leith cultúr agus oidhreacht Leitir Ceanainn a cheiliúradh. Cuireann muid fearadh na fáilte roimh Ghaeilgeoirí agus tá súil againn go mbeidh sibh sásta tús a chur leis an chomhrá i nGaeilge agus muinín a thabhairt do dhaoine eile a gcúpla focal a úsáid. Bíodh an Ghaeilge le cloisteáil fud fad na háite!
Organisers ask that all attendees adhere to social guidelines and enjoy the day.
Comhaltas Leitir Ceannain, keeping the tradition alive.
