By Dan Walsh at the Gorey Market House Festival
Gorey’s Main Street was normal today, then a giant stage was hastily erected, musical instruments were sound checked and around half past seven local performer Aoife Doyle got the crowd in celebration mood on the opening night of the 3-day Gorey Market House Festival.
By the time the headline act, Paddy Casey, took to the stage the crowd had grown exponentially and the festival was well and truly rocking and rolling and everybody was having a fabulous time at an event that is described as “three days of family friendly music, crafts and events throughout the town with something for everyone.”
The Gorey Market House Festival has always been about the community and the organisers are delighted to announce the return of The Family Fun Day in Gorey Town Park tomorrow, (Saturday) from 1pm, The Annual Busking Competition in association with Making Music is also happening tomorrow and entry forms are available from Making Music and Loch Garman Arms. More music on the big stage tomorrow evening.
Sunday kicks off with an Arts and Crafts Market on Gorey Main Street from 10am and The Superhero Fun Run in Gorey Town Park is timed 11am. Of course, more music on the street stage on Sunday and happening till late, so Gorey is the perfect place to spend the weekend.
