The 2024 North West Truck Fest was a great success last weekend, drawing visitors from far and wide to support the Donegal Down Syndrome Association.
The annual event moved to Letterkenny this year, where the highlights included a hugely impressive convoy through the town and a lights show.
The weather wasn’t on their side, but they kept on trucking!
Truckers and businesses alike put in countless hours of preparation to ensure the showcase was a memorable one, highlighting the stunning vehicles that now grace the roads of the North West.
While the final fundraising tally will be announced soon, organisers say it was one of the biggest festivals ever thanks to the incredible support from the community.
