Mayor Marie Corr will officially close the Bealtaine Festival in Tallaght Stadium on Thursday 26th May at 11am. Why not Push the Boat Out, whatever the sea…..
The closing ceremony will be followed by the presentation of prizes for “Push the Boat out, whatever the sea” competition, music performance and some light refreshments.
May belongs to the Bealtaine festival, celebrating creativity in older age! The Festival proved increasing popular with older people and this was shown by the huge number of participants and people attending events throughout the county. From cooking to walking, creative writing to cycling, Bealtaine had something for everyone……
Throughout the month of May it was a chance for people to make new and challenging work, a chance to communicate traditions between the generations. It was a chance for the novice to discover a talent until then unseen and a chance for a long-dormant skill to find a new outlet.
South Dublin County Council has worked in partnership with many local organisations and statutory agencies to enhance the services for older people living in the county. Working together we can make South Dublin County a great place to live for people of all ages and abilities.
