The Letterkenny Busking Festival
Each summer, the Letterkenny Busking Festival brings together performers, their families, and the local community for an afternoon of entertainment and summer fun. Every year, talented buskers, exciting performance groups, street dancers and other entertainers attract spectators and shoppers to Letterkenny’s Main Street. Each act will be in with a chance of winning prizes from the €1000 prize fund.
“Last year we had a fantastic level of entries!”, explains Jimmy Stafford, President of Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce that is organising the Busking Festival through its ShopLK Brand.
“This year is even more important than ever. While things might be different in terms of social distancing, we still hope to have more pitches and lots of entertainment throughout the day. After lockdown, we are all looking forward to having a good summer. ShopLK is all about enjoying the best shopping experience in Letterkenny and we want our regular customers and visitors to really enjoy what the town has to offer. This type of event that is funded through the Retail Promotion initiative from Donegal County Council makes happy shoppers and creates a real buzz and we know there will be tight competition for the top spot.”
This exciting annual event brings various acts together to celebrate local and national talent. Support our acts and help to bring the Main Street alive this August 29th.
