Welcome to our Festival!
The Annual Festival of Seafood means much more to our area than just a week of entertainment and fun.
The Community Development Association introduced
our first festival in 1985 and since its inception
the proceeds of our Seafood Festivals have been
invested in our community to help the development
of social, recreational, sporting and tourist amenities.
This vision and subsequent developments have enabled our community to provide the wonderful facilities and amenities that you enjoy. You are welcome to the services and facilities in our Stella Maris Community Centre; experience the unique beauty of the community owned lands on Ballyteige Burrow with its walkways; take a walk along the sea front promenade leading to the Memorial Trail
and Garden and continue to the boardwalk onto
the sand dunes; you can stop off at our impressive and
award winning children’s playground. The sport
and recreational grounds at Crossfarnoge are
also available.
These represent the extraordinary achievement of
voluntary effort, participation and commitment of
this community and beyond. It has been underpinned
by the enthusiasm of the Seafood Festival
Committee, the many volunteers, residents and
local groups from far and wide.
Your participation and support, in whatever way
you can, will help the ongoing work to develop our
village with its unique character and we will reap
the rewards of another successful Festival in
2013.
Enjoy!
On behalf of the community of Kilmore Quay.
