Community, culture and family fun day to take place in Tipperary this weekend
The event is being held by community group Clonmel Together, this Saturday March 29.
Clonmel Together were delighted to launch their upcoming Community, Culture and Family Fun Day at the Main Guard last Wednesday morning in Tipperary.
The event will be held at CTI Hall in Clonmel this Saturday, March 29 from 12 until 5 and entry is free to all. There will be live music and dance from a variety of local performers, delicious food and children’s entertainment.
As well as craic and ceol, the event will feature stalls from community groups like Tidy Towns and local services like Citizens Information.
Chairman Rúairí Ó Caisleán and other members of the committee were joined at the launch by representatives from South Tipperary Development Company, Tipperary Volunteer Centre, Citizens Information and the Local Authority Integration Team.
Also in attendance were members of Clonmel’s Muslim community, some of whom will be both performing and providing food at the event.
Clonmel Together has received funding to run the community social event on March 29 from South Tipperary Development Company, from Tipperary Volunteer Centre and from the Tipperary Local Authority Integration Team.
Clonmel Together are organising the event in conjunction with South Tipperary Development Company under the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP), which aims to tackle poverty and social exclusion at a local level through local engagement.
“The mission of Clonmel Together is to build a community rooted in compassion and inclusivity, and that starts with bringing people together,” explained PRO Dean Buckley. “We hope this will be a fun afternoon for everyone, but also a chance for people to connect, get to know each other and get involved.”
