Seamus Grant Weekend Festival
Our Festival has been running for 15 years now. It began as a day of music, dancing and traditional crafts during Clonmany Festival and has now evolved into a weekend event. Thanks to the Arts Council and local support we are able to bring most of the events free to a local and wider audience. In 2020 we ran our first fully online weekend, reaching a wider audience and enjoying artists fromIreland and Scotland.
Venues and events
Clonmany has many unique venues for music, singing and dancing and we use each venue to suit the audiences and artists – from the Hotel concert venue, St Mary’s Parish Hall for a Ceili, St Francis National school for workshops, to the unique Market House and of course our session pubs – McFeeley’s and The Square Bar.
