Welcome to the 44th Mary from Dungloe International Festival

We hope you find variety in the programme this year and we hope the weather allows for a fantastic week for everyone!

This year we have placed a great emphasis on family activities and we hope that you find something for all ages. Our headlining concert with The Coronas will undoubtedly please all ages and La Gaelach will be as lively as ever.

We are delighted to welcome our 2011 Marys to Dungloe this year and extend a special welcome to our reigning Mary from Dungloe Jemma Ferry with great pride. Jemma has been a fantastic ambassador for the festival, for Dungloe and for County Donegal.

We welcome our returning funding bodies Donegal County Council and Fáilte Ireland, our sponsor Randox Laboratories Ltd, the local traders, McGurks Funfair, Rosses CDP and Ionad Teampall Chróine and those who work hard throughout the world to promote the festival and select Marys to represent them at the festival each year. Enjoy the programme of events and please encourage your family and friends to come along.
