Cead Mile Failte and welcome to the official "Mary from Dungloe International Festival" website.
2008 Website Under Construction and will be live soon.
In April 1968, the Emmet Spiceland Ballad Group re-released an old ballad, Mary From Dungloe, and in the wake of the song's nationwide success emerged "The Mary From Dungloe Festival".
Once again in 2008 we return once again to the "Town of Sweet Dungloe" to celebrate this internationally renowned festival.
