Donegal Bay & Blue Stacks Festival 09 has an astronomical theme this year to mark IYA 2009.
This is our Community Arts festival and many groups have worked hard on creating productions & offering a variety of shows, exhibitions and events for this year. I ask that you all support the arts and celebrate tha talent we have here in Donegal by supporting this unique and wide spread rural festival. So Please ... spread the word through your contacts.
Please note that carnival Ballyshannon CONSTELLATIONS will take place on Oct 3rd at 7.30pm.
There will be road closures in place from 6.30pm to 9pm so if coming or going through ballyshannon on this night please take by pass routes or better still park up on outskirts of town and join us for this magical nightitme parade.
