There may be dancing

 

It’s Friday afternoon and that means that preparations are already underway for the weekend.

As far as Dundalk is concerned though, there’s only one place to be this Sunday and that’s in the Market Square for the Táin Summer Festival.

Nathan Carter will be headlining an event that also includes local favourites Who’s Eddie and former Eurovision entrants Donna and Joe McCaul. There will also be a range of children’s events, a pig on a spit and much more.

Tickets are on sale now with the festivities getting underway from 2pm on the day.

Sunday greyhound racing fixed for Dundalk Stadium

The Irish Greyhound Board has granted permission for Dundalk Stadium to run two ‘Super Sunday’ greyhound fixtures on Sunday 26^th May and Sunday 30^th June.  These fixtures are in addition to Dundalk Stadium’s normal Friday and Saturday night greyhound programme.

The addition of the two Sunday fixtures has been welcomed by the greyhound fraternity and Dundalk Stadium management.

Emma Meehan of Dundalk Stadium said: “We are delighted to be granted permissions to run on these two occasions.  We ask all the greyhound fraternity to show their support on Sunday 26^th May and Sunday 30^th June by spreading the word and encouraging their family and friends to attend.”

The first race is provisionally scheduled for 5pm with doors opening at 3pm.  There is a focus on children’s entertainment on both days with bouncing castles; face painting; pony rides and much more planned to keep the little ones entertained on a Sunday afternoon.
