An Tostal returns to Drumshanbo this year
There is great excitement around the county as local festivals and events announce their dates for their anticipated return this year.
We have been starved of our annual festivals, events, agricultural shows, St Patrick Day parades and much more over the past two years of the Covid pandemic. But 2022 is certainly looking colourful.
Leitrim Tourism is calling on all event organisers and committees to get in touch with them so they can collect all the information to promote, support and help grant aid activities around the county. They hope to have a full list of events by the end of this month - including what St Patrick's Day events are going ahead.
But we can announce a number of festivals that have already released their dates.
Leitrim Dance Festival will see a week of workshops and concerts in Carrick-on-Shannon April 18 -22.
Carrick Carnival has just announced they will host a four day festival from June 3-6.
Cowboys and Heroes, Ireland's biggest Country Music Festival will return with big stars to Drumcoura City from June 3 - 6. Tickets are already on sale.
Drumcoura is also hosting Ireland's Biggest Disco with Alice DeeJay and other nostalgic names from the 90s and 00s disco scene. It will take place on July 2, with tickets on sale now.
Drumshanbo's An Tostal will bring back traditional music, dance and song from June 30 to July 3 and then passes the baton on to the International Joe Mooney Summer School which will take place from July 16 - 23.
Ballinamore Family Festival also returns this year, but with new dates.
To suit the Ballinamore Agriculture Show, the ever popular festival will bring a week of free music, activities and craic from August 7-14.
There are also volunteer groups around the county organising St Patrick's Day parades for this year's double bank holiday celebration
If you want to see your local festival or event return this year, get involved and offer your services.
We can't wait to see the colour, crowds and happy faces back on Leitrim streets this year.
