    Thought it might be handy to have a thread to stick in any events coming up that people know of and want to share.

    For example today the Cannonball Ireland rally will be coming through parts of Sligo - Ballintogher, Ballygawley, Tubbercurry on their way to Ballina with al their high powered cars. It's for the Jack & Jill Foundation.

    Next Friday, 22nd September 2023 is Culture Night - all events are free and listed here: https://culturenight.ie/location/sligo/

    Thanks for posting Miamee and Magnum Lady. Is there a central source on the web that promotes/informs of such events in Sligo throughout the year?

    @[Deleted User] I find out about different things on social media (facebook and instagram mostly) and @magnumlady blogs about various happenings in Sligo too. Might be worth following her blog or facebook page to keep up :)

    There are plenty of things happening around the place for St Patrick's Day, including some gigs on the new Queen Maeve's Square. The events on the link below are in Sligo town only but if you know of other local parades or events, post them in here too :)
