Annual Scoildrámaíocht Festival: A celebration of Irish language and talent in County Louth
Pupils and teachers throughout County Louth are eagerly preparing for Féile Dhún Dealgan, the annual Irish language Scoildrámaíocht festival.
This year’s festival will take place in An Táin Theatre Dundalk on Thursday 29th February, 10.00am - 12.30pm , with local schools taking part.
The festival gives students the opportunity to act, gain confidence and have fun all as Gaeilge.
Schools partaking in this year’s festival include St. Mary's NS Knockbridge, St. Joseph's NS Dundalk and Gaelscoil Dhún Dealgan. Winners at the competition will go on to represent the region in Féile Laighean / the Leinster Provincial Festival.
Entrance is open to the public throughout the morning and will be €1 for pupils / €4 for adults in what is sure to be a fulfilling and exciting day for all those involved.
As the Irish proverb says, “Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí!”
An Cumann Scoildrámaíochta was first established in 1934 and is now over 90 years old with thousands of students from throughout the country taking part each year.
The Dundalk festival forms part of Seachtain na Gaeilge activities in the town.
