Siamsa Sráide

The Swinford Siamsa Sraide street festival has an annual fixed date - it is always held on the Irish August Bank Holiday weekend since the mid 1980’s.  This year's (2009) festival will be held from Saturday 1st August to Wednesday 5th August.

Swinford hosts one of the County's largest summer festivals, Siamsa Sraide Swinford (Fun in the Streets of Swinford).  This is a festival of Pageantry, Céili Dancing, and Heritage Displays depicting much of the traditions of East Mayo.

There is a huge interest in the busking competitions and visitors can look forward to a variety of street entertainment. The prize fund is big and there will be category prizes to cater for different forms of street entertainment.

So now wherever in the world you live make your summer holiday arrangements to coincide with the festival.
