An open meeting will take place in Dunkineely tonight to make plans for this year’s Killaghtee Festival.
It will be held in McLaughlin’s Lounge at 7:30pm.
“We are having an open meeting for local residents and fans to put forward their ideas on what we should do at the festival,” a spokesperson for the organisers said.
“Because of last year’s success, we will once again be keeping it ‘unique’ by combining local heritage (history and nature), wellbeing and art.”
If you want to go that step further and volunteer for the festival committee, contact them at dunkineelycommunity@gmail.com
