Ballyshannon Folk and Traditional Music FestivalRay Gaughan , East Port, Co. DonegalThe Festival is organized by 9 or 10 people on a purely voluntary basis, and perhaps the reason for the success is that is is non - commercial and non - profit making. The main aims of the Festival committee is to promote Traditional and Folk music and to attract people to Ballyshannon. Almost all of the town's many pubs have live music - and a varied variety - often beyond the bounds of 'folk'. The Festival Committee is committed to their Street Entertainment programme - ensuring a round the clock open air and FREE litany of high quality entertainment all weekend. Ballyshannon Folk Festival has succeeded in firmly establishing itself as one of the country's premier musical events. In a country that is laced with festival's throughout the year - in every village, town and city, this is some indication of the popularity and calibre of this event.
