Rory Gallagher Festival 2013

· Posted: 11.02.2013 · #1

Thursday 30th May to Sunday 2nd June 2013.
The Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival is one of the most unique annual Music Festivals in Ireland, celebrating Ireland's best loved Rock 'n Blues Guitarist, the Late Rory Gallagher who was born in Ballyshannon. Over 12,000 people attended the 4-day event in 2012 on the June Bank Holiday Weekend.

The Festival is based primarily on Rock 'n Blues Music with Open Air Street Gigs, Nightly Big Top Concerts, Workshops, Exhibitions, Theatre Concerts and Pub sessions. Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival won the Best Festival for visitor numbers between 10,000 and 30,000 at the 2010 & 2011 Irish Festival Awards.

Did anyone attend? is it worth going to?

Deirdre,
I have been to the RGFest many times, last year for the first time in the MH. This is not to be missed if you are a fan of Rory's music, it is just the best! We stayed in the town's campsite which should be pre-booked as it fills up. They do their best to accommodate everybody though.

The festival website is www.goingtomyhometown.com. It's a long way from Clare to there, but well worth the trip.

Is there any other places to park the Motorhome? or just the campsite?

However, there is a Campervan area at the Lakeside Centre, very close to
the Town Centre and fully serviced with excellent facilities - here are the
contact details -
