Some 70 million people around the world claim to have Irish roots and many of them enjoy tracing those roots while holidaying in the home country each year.   Many more of our fellow country men and women have left for pastures new in recent years and they too look forward to ‘coming home’ on holiday.

The Global Irish Festivals series offers all of you the perfect reason to come home and visit The Wild Atlantic Way this Autumn.  Throughout the month of October, Limerick and Donegal will play host to a number of unique festivals and events that will be of particular interest to friends and family who have a connection with or an interest in Ireland.  Culture is a huge part of the Irish identity and, as a nation we are renowned for our writers, actors and artists.  Highlighting the best of Ireland’s traditional and contemporary culture and heritage, Donegal and Limerick invite you to come home this October to share in our festivals and events with the promise of a month-long céad mile fáilte abhaile.
