Ballygar Truckin’ returns by popular demand this October bank holiday weekend, equipped with a jam-packed weekend of entertainment, with something to suit everyone, irrespective of their age or interest.
This year, the exciting event is aiming to raise money to support two very worthy charities: St Anne’s Stroke and Brain Injury Unit in Galway, and BNT Le Chéile – the local Ballygar Newbridge Toghergar Benevolent Fund.
In addition, this year is extra-special as 2024 marks 30 years of the St Brendan’s Ladies Football Club. To celebrate this major milestone for the popular local sporting club, Ballygar Truckin’s Saturday night’s entertainment will be held in support and celebration of the local club.
A huge range of activities and attractions have been organised to take place this bank holiday weekend as part of the 11th annual Ballygar Truckin’ Weekend.
Over the three days, Ballygar Truckin’ will be hosting a variety of events, such as a truck and tractor run, a monster auction, a vintage display and farmers market, a memorial walk, and a Bingo Loco event.
Paul Kelly will also be live in the Mattie McDonagh Centre and there will be many more family-friendly, fun activities happening throughout the bank holiday weekend.
Throughout the weekend, ‘Lucky Dip’ tickets will be on sale in all businesses and online. The winner of the Lucky Dip will win the amazing grand prize of four tickets to Electric Picnic, with a six-berth camper hire for the entire weekend – a truly incredible prize for the lucky winner to get their hands on!
Local taxi services will also be on duty throughout the weekend to make sure everyone gets home safe.
The Ballygar Truckin’ organising committee wish to express their profound gratitude to all who are supporting this year’s event.
Michael John Slyman (Chairperson, Ballygar Truckin’ Committee) said, “This year’s event is going to be bigger again than previous years, and we are delighted to be able to support the amazing work going on in the St Anne’s Stroke and Brain Injury Unit, Galway and BNT Le Chéile this year.
“There is a fantastic line-up this year with something for everyone, so we look forward to seeing you all at some point over the bank holiday weekend!”, he concluded.
The Ballygar Truckin’ Weekend is continuing to thrive year on year as it beefs up its line-up annually. Don’t miss out on the chance to enjoy a wonderful weekend of activity locally while also supporting two very worthy causes.
