Night and Day Festival is the biggest event in Roscommon for the June bank holiday weekend, featuring major performers including The Saw Doctors, Imelda May, The Boomtown Rats, and The Hothouse Flowers. Now in its fifth year, the festival has grown into one of the biggest festivals in the west of Ireland. Set by the shores of Lough Key, it is family-friendly, with dozens of children’s activities and access to Lough Key Forest and Activity Park attractions such as woodland walks, kayaking, and Boda Borg. Tulsk Hooley in the local village runs from Friday to Monday, with bar events, GAA pitch opening, underage games, football, camogie, live music, an auction, and a final Brown Bull of Cooley “Poo ley” fun event.
"Indeed, few events in the country can top a bill that includes The Saw Doctors, Imelda May, The Boomtown Rats, The Hothouse Flowers and many, many more. Now in its fifth year, the Night and Day Festival has become one of the biggest festivals in the west of Ireland. Set by the shores of Lough Key, Night and Day is also a family-friendly affair, with dozens of children's activities taking place throughout the weekend."
"Visitors can also enjoy all the activities that Lough Key Forest and Activity Park has to offer, from woodland walks to kayaking, to the popular Boda Borg indoor play centre. A limited number of tickets are still available for the upcoming Night and Day Festival and can be purchased at nightandday.ie."
"The festivities open on Friday night in Dec's Bar, where former teammates and neighbours gather for a relaxed welcome evening. Saturday will see the official opening of Tulsk GAA's new pitch, and a series of games involving underage teams and local GAA legends from days gone by. The football will be followed by a barbecue at O'Connor's and a marquee reunion night with MC John Quinn and music from Blacksticks."
"Sunday will see men's football, ladies' football and camogie games, followed by live music and an auction. Later, there will be an all-star panel discussion MC'd by well-known local GAA commentator Willie Hegarty, with panellists including legendary Roscommon supporter Paddy Joe Burke and LGFA President Trina Murray. The weekend will conclude on Monday with the novel Brown Bull of Cooley "Poo ley" fun"
