ABOUT OUR FESTIVAL
Our festival is centred
on seafood, fishing and fun for all the family. You can
indulge your palate with
our delicious seafood
platters or join in the many
activities set out in our
programme. Stroll through
the village to see the
thatched cottages that line the main street, call into St. Peter’s Church and admire the wonderful stained glass windows, stop
off in the Stella Maris Centre and appreciate the Exhibitions of Photos and Art in The Loft & Bird Rock Café.
Wander on down to
the harbour to see a fishing boat and its catch of fish, scallops,
crabs or lobster. Book sea angling trip on one of the many
angling boats or take a trip out to the Saltees Islands - a haven
for bird Watchers. Browse through the small village stores, the
harbour stalls or sit and rest a while and enjoy the comings and
goings in the marina - watch out for our harbour seals who love
to follow the incoming boats in the hope of landing a free
supper and spot our new Tamar class RNLB Killarney.Call over to
the lifeboat house where the Kilmore Artists group have a
wonderful exhibition of their paintings. From here you can take
a stroll on our new walkway extending from the back of the pier
over to Forlorn Point which forms part of the oldest rock
formation in Europe. Make sure you bring the kids who will
enjoy our marvellous playground an picnic area which will
entertain and amuse them for hours. A visit to the Memorial
Garden is a must, a place to remember all those lost at sea.From

rare flora and fauna and admire the setting sun over Balyteige Bay. So come and join us for the festival, we offer you a truly
