Ardglass Festival 2010

The Festival will run from Monday 2nd to Sunday 8th August. As usual, the Ardglass Festival Association will attempt to organise most events which necessitate no expense for those attending, with particular emphasis on children's events.
Popular events will of course be retained. The most demanding event in terms of finance is The Fun Day, scheduled for Sunday, 8th August at the Primary School grounds. As usual, all the attractions provided by the Association, will be free for children. Many local groups and charities such as the local PTA and the Marie Curie Cancer Group use this event for fund-raising, which of course the Association promotes wholeheartedly.
