Clonmany Festival |

|
Saturday 2nd - Sunday 9th August The Clonmany Festival to date has been in existence for 41 successful years, an annual event that has become entwined in local traditions and culture. The festival is somewhat unique in that it has always catered for the entire family, with something to offer for all age groups and a wide variety of tastes. The First Festival was an emigrants' Festival. Much of the spirit was due to the generosity of people at home with their time and talent to welcome back the emigrants from England, Scotland and America. This spirit still flourishes to this day, however the emigrants now return from all corners of the globe not just England, Scotland and America. The Clonmany Festival Committee not only organises the annual weekly festival but it is also a local redevelopment organisation which has spearheaded the original development of the Pond Field (which now hosts the Clonmany Shamrock F.C. excellent football grounds and the equally magnificent Community Centre) and is currently spearheading the redevelopment of the local Market House which had fallen in to terminal decay. The epilogue of which is that the Festival is of enormous benefit to the locals, the emigrants and the tourists alike. ![]()
