SUMMARY:Heritage Week
DESCRIPTION:National Heritage Week\, an initiative by the Heritage Council\, celebrates all things heritage. It brings together communities\, families\, organisations\, cultural institutions\, academics and enthusiasts\, to build awareness about the value of heritage and support its conservation. \nSince the Heritage Council assumed responsibility for National Heritage Week in 2005\, it has grown from a small 500 event to almost 2\,000 events in 2023. The Heritage Council assumed the role of coordinator of National Heritage Week from the Department of the Environment\, Heritage & Local Government. Since then the week has grown into a highly successful programme. \nHistory\nNational Heritage Week has grown since becoming part of the Heritage Council. Starting off small with a limited number of events\, it has grown to be an island-wide event celebrating all aspects of our built\, natural and cultural heritage. The nine day long event now includes Wild Child Day and Water Heritage Day as part of its event. \nDid you know that the theme for National Heritage Week is also the theme for over 40 European countries? As National Heritage Week is part of the European Heritage Days network\, Ireland along with other countries collectively decide the theme for Heritage Week each year. Since 2010\, National Heritage Week has had its own theme.

SUMMARY:Ballygawley Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Ballygawley Music Festival has officially launched its line-up for 2025. It is the 5th anniversary of the festival which has gone from strength to strength since its founding in 2019. The festival is not for profit event and it is run by a group of energetic volunteers from the community with support from our many sponsors. The aim of the event is to host a unique and diverse music event annually in the village (over 18s). \nThis year’s event will take place from the 17-20th July. On Thursday 17th July\, the marquee will play host to Ballygawley Kids Fest from 5.30pm. The Tumbling Paddies will headline Friday 18th July with support from Claudia Buckley and her band. Saturday 19th July will see Sean Magee\, One for the Road and Derek Ryan take to the main stage whilst Sunday 20th July will see Mike Denver and Johnny Brady close out the festival. \nThomas Walsh\, one of the organisers\, said: “We are expecting our biggest crowds to date in 2025 and we have a line-up to match. We have continued to invest in the event\, its branding and promotion and we are looking forward to people from around the country and overseas to descend on Ballygawley Village. The event is only made possible by the large numbers of volunteers its takes to support us in to run the event over the weekend\, it can take up to 60-80 volunteers per night and we are very thankful for the support. We are excited about 2025\,” he added. \nTickets are now available online for each night and weekend ticket options available via www.ballygawleymusicfestival.com
