About

This festival is one of Sligo’s most popular activities and there are a wide range of events to suit all ages. The festival is based on the legend that a huge boar used to run wild in the local towns devouring mown and children. It was killed in Mackduff and because it was so large, it had to be covered in stones rather than buried. These stones can be seen today. There is a parade through the town to kick-start the four day festival. Pet shows, exhibitions, craft stalls and agricultural shows are all part of the events.
