Black Pig Festival is bigger and better than ever before
Enniscrone is set to party later this month for the annual Black Pig Festival which runs from July 27 th to 31st.
Organiser Mandy Killoran says a lot of work has gone into this year’s event and there will be something for all the family.
“Enniscrone Events committee are a voluntary group of six people who work to provide this annual fantastic festival of fun which grows year on year,” she says.
“We are currently busy organising a spectacular programme of activities for this year’s festival, we are capitalizing on the excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the town in recent times and continuing to build a positive image of Enniscrone as a key destination on the Wild Atlantic Way for sustainable and family friendly tourism,” adds Mandy.
Their ambitions include putting Enniscrone on the list of best festivals in Ireland.
Live music this year includes Country music giant Mike Denver while there will be a sky diving show on the beach. The night’s sky will be alight with fire works while other games on the beach include a duck race, sunrise yoga, junior splash n’ dash.
Other novelty acts include beachside cinema, a little pig- gies picnic for the children and a sandcastle masterclass.
There will also be a treasure hunt, interactive outdoor exhi- bitions, comedy and a funfair, guided walks and the soapbox derby will be back this year by popular demand.
