The crafts and demonstrations on display are not simply exhibitions; they are living traditions being passed from one generation to the next. We are proud to provide a platform for these skilled craftspeople while creating an authentic and immersive experience for visitors of all ages. We are also very proud of our new Youth Committee\, established this year to help shape the future of the festival. Their enthusiasm\, ideas and involvement ensure that the traditions we celebrate today will continue to be valued and enjoyed by future generations.” \nA key feature of this year’s festival is the continued involvement of young people through the Old Fair Day Youth Committee. Young volunteers have played an active role in shaping elements of the programme\, helping ensure that the festival remains relevant and engaging for future generations while maintaining its strong connection to local traditions and community values. The Youth Committee will organise the popular Family Fun Day and support activities throughout the festival\, helping to create opportunities for children and families to connect with local heritage through fun\, interactive experiences. \nThe highlight of the festival takes place on Wednesday 12th August when the streets of Tubbercurry are transformed into a bustling Fair Day experience featuring hundreds of exhibitors\, traditional craft and heritage demonstrations\, artisan food and craft stalls\, vintage machinery and vehicle displays\, children’s entertainment\, street performances and interactive family activities. Visitors can spend the day exploring the sights\, sounds and traditions of rural Ireland before enjoying a free outdoor concert in Wolfe Tone Square featuring one of Ireland’s most popular country music stars\, Jimmy Buckley and His Band. \nFamilies can enjoy the Little Folks Fair in St Brigid’s Hall\, featuring crafts\, workshops\, activities and a dedicated sensory area\, while visitors can also take part in dance workshops with South Sligo Summer School and Bróga Bríomhar Dance School. Ocean FM will broadcast live from Wolfe Tone Square. \nThe festival programme also includes the Tubbercurry Trail Parkrun\, Teddy Bears’ Picnic\, Duck Race\, Live music on the Saturday night with Wolfhound\, Family Fun activities on Sunday and Tuesday\, Square Sundays Car and Coffee Meet Up\, the Real Tubber Headers Cup and a celebration of 80 years of Phoenix Players. \nAs a voluntary community festival\, Tubbercurry Old Fair Day continues to thrive thanks to the support of local businesses\, sponsors\, volunteers\, community organisations\, Sligo County Council\, Fáilte Ireland and visitors who return year after year. \nFor more information\, follow them on social media or visit their website: www.oldfairday.ie
