Organisers of the Donegal Town Summer Festival have announced that there will be no event this year.
Last year’s festival saw three days of live music taking place at the Pier.
Organisers have said that: “Due to the lack of support for last year’s event, we simply cannot move forward with plans for 2025. This decision was not made lightly, and it comes with deep disappointment for our committee and the wider community.”
In a statement released today, the Festival Committee – Chris, Mary, Sinéad, Ernan, Jonathan and Bill – expressed their gratitude for the event’s 14-year run.
“What a small group of dedicated local volunteers has been able to achieve over the past 14 years is nothing short of amazing,” they said.
Special thanks were issued to sponsors, support agencies, performers and the public.
Despite the festival’s end, the committee said that their commitment to the town remains: “Though this chapter is coming to a close, the six of us on the committee will continue to support our town in whatever way we can.
“We are incredibly proud of all that the Donegal Town Summer Festival has brought to our community, and we are deeply grateful for the memories, the music, and the magic we’ve shared together over the past 14 years.”
