Leitrim Roots Festival 2013 reaching out for the Gathering

Festival seeks visitors looking for the genuine Irish experiences with local community

• Walking in the footsteps of one of Ireland’s most famous poets William Butler Yeats; visiting areas that inspired him including Glencar in North Leitrim which featured in ‘The Stolen Child’ and the Lake Isle of Innisfree which features in one of Ireland’s most popular poems.  This Yeats filled day will be followed by an evening of poetry and dinner overlooking Lough Gill. 

• Leitrim Community Day sees you visit the community that you have most connections with.  Our Leitrim Ambassadors will meet with you and take you to places of particular interest and answer any questions you may have.

These are just the highlights.  There is a full seven day programme available which also includes theatre nights, traditional music entertainment, a cruise on the River Shannon, Céilís and many other events.  Please visit www.leitrimrootsfestival.com for more details.

Overall this will be a wonderful week in Leitrim and for some a first ever opportunity to have an in-depth look at the county. For others there will be the opportunity to visit the parishes in the county where their ancestors lived out their lives. It is anticipated that of the many people who have already had research done by Leitrim Genealogy Centre, many will take this unique opportunity to visit Leitrim. This week will also be a great opportunity for Leitrim-born people from all over the world to visit Leitrim
