Bealtaine In Duhallow
Bealtaine In Duhallow
The Duhallow Saoi Network was delighted to see a return of the Bealtaine Festival post covid with many of the favourite in person events back on the calendar. Bealtaine is a festival held throughout the month of May which aims to promote actively ageing and encouraging older people to get involved in their community. Hundreds of older people got involved in events in their community with a wide range of activities from the Duhallow Dawn Chorus, Tea Dances, to Culture and Heritage evenings, as well as Chairperson Jack Roche’s Famous Mystery Tour, Walks, Day Time Cinema and the Duhallow Seniors Concert. The following are some of our favourite photos from this year’s festivities.
