Excitement is building big time in Kildorrery as the parish is getting ready to celebrate 50 years of their famous festival.
There is frantic activity day and night in the village as final preparations are being made to ensure that this year’s festival will be a fitting tribute to the occasion, which has being going strong since 1972.
The festival opens this Thursday with ‘Reeling In The Years’ in the Marquee. This is a nostalgic look back over the last 50 years, and will feature an amazing array of local talent portraying past festival meetings and a host of bands that have appeared over the years.
Also, back for one night only, is a humorous take on the ‘Rose of the Hill’ which was one of the highlights from 1986 to 2002. This time around, the ‘Roses’ are ‘OVER’ the hill but as intent on fun as ever!
