International Pan Celtic Festival 2014

Fáilte Welcome Don chéad uair riamh, beidh Doire ina óstach d’Fhéile Idirnáisiúnta Pan Cheilteach.

Leoga, is í seo an chéad uair dá dtáinig an Fhéile trasna na teorann go Tuaisceart na hÉireann.

Tá lúcháir orainn an deis a fháil fearadh na fáilte a chur romhaibh uilig chuig cathair álainn s’againn agus tá súil againn go mbainfidh sibh sult as an chlár imeachtaí atá beartaithe againn.

2014 will be the first year that Derry will have the privilege to host the International Pan Celtic Festival.

Indeed this will the first time in the festivals history that it will cross the border into the North of Ireland.

We are delighted to get the opportunity to welcome you all to our beautiful city and hope that you will enjoy the programme of events that we have planned.
