This week’s Dunkineely/Bruckless/Killaghtee community notes are out.
Killaghtee Festival
An open meeting will be held at 7:30pm, 26 th April, in MacLaughlin’s Lounge, Dunkineely.
With the Dunkineely Parade over we are now looking forward to the Killaghtee Festival 2023.
We are having an open meeting for local residents and fans to put forward their ideas on what we should do at the festival. Because of last year’s success we will once again be keeping it ‘unique’ by combining local heritage (history and nature), wellbeing and art.
If you want to go that step further and volunteer for the Festival Committee, contact us at dunkineelycommunity@gmail.com
