Meeting House Square hosted performances from Altan, Clannad, The Plea, The Henry Girls, Donegal Tenors, Donegal Youth Orchestra, Aoife Ní Fhearraigh, Maria McCool, The Roots Orchestra, An Crann Óg, Fidil, and Aine O’ Doherty & Friends.

There was a great atmosphere and it made us so proud of our county!”
