Ballina Chamber of Commerce Presents:
ballina Salmon Festival
Now in its 58th year, and after a three year hiatus, Ballina Salmon Festival is back..with a bang!
The longest running community festival along the wild Atlantic way, inspired by Ballina’s jewel in its crown, the River Moy, and officially dubbed Salmon Capital of Ireland, Ballina’s Salmon Festival has evolved throughout its 58 years.
The ethos has remained the same, it continues to celebrate all that is great about the community of Ballina and Co Mayo; Family fun , music, arts, culture and heritage, sports and the magnificent River Moy, making Ballina Salmon Festival a very special seven days to remember.
‘Meet as a Stranger, Leave as a Friend’.
