Féile an Dóilín
Féile an Dóilín is the west of Ireland's premier maritime fesitval, taking place annually on the shores of Galway Bay, in the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region) village of An Cheathrú Rua, Connemara. Celebrating this unique region's rich maritime history, the festival has something to offer to everyone, young and old.
The festival revolves around the ancient and beautiful Galway Hooker boat. From the Parade of Sail in August to Paráid na bhFathach (Parade of the Giant) in September, lectures on maritime history and boat-making exhibitions, there really is no better place in Ireland than An Cheathrú Rua during the two Dóilín weekends.
