Fun-filled weekend ahead at Creggs Harvest Festival

A fun-filled itinerary of events is planned for Creggs Harvest Festival, which takes place over the Bank Holiday Weekend, October 25th to 28th 2024.

The committee has been hard at work bringing together a programme of events with something to suit all ages and interests and this year’s event stretches from noon on Friday to Monday night.

There are a number of innovations in this year’s Festival, including a Junior Bard of Connacht on Friday at noon in the Heritage Centre, Pilates with Bonnie in the Wildlife Park on Saturday morning, a children’s GAA skills competition and Mothers and Others game and Fun Day in Creggs GAA on Saturday, and another Fun Day in Creggs RFC on Monday – and the Grand Opening of Kilbegnet House and Farm, also on Saturday.

The best and brightest crafters from all over Connacht and beyond will gather on Bank Holiday Sunday, October 27th.

The event gets underway in Creggs NS at 11 am and runs until 5 pm. Once again the event is organised by Michele Lambert of Flutterby Crafts and she has gathered a wide range of craft enthusiasts for what promises to be a vibrant event.

Galway County Council has supported Creggs Harvest Festival in recent years and the Festival Committee thank the Council for its ongoing support. Thanks is also extended to committee members and the many volunteers who give of their time over the weekend to ensure the smooth running of events. If you are available to lend a hand at the event, to steward at the family fun run or get involved in the logistics of the festival, please let any committee member know. All offers of help are greatly appreciated.

So, get yourselves along to Creggs over the Bank Holiday weekend! There’s something to suit everyone, from morning to night, pilates to puc fadas, book launches to baking – with lots of heritage, music and crafting events to look forward to.
