The Balbriggan Summerfest was formed to create a community spirit and bring the people of Balbriggan together for a weekend of family entertainment, fun and laughs.

The Summerfest caters for all ages within the town with numerous events from sandcastle competitions for the young, and young at heart, music performances that showcase the many talented musicians that the town has to offer, fun runs to test the stamina and fitness abilities, and not to mention Balbriggan's Got Talent!! and YES!!!, we've proved it in 2009, Simon Cowell eat your heart out.

The Balbriggan Summerfest for 2010 will take place from Thursday 24th June to Sunday 27th June and promises to be a weekend not to be missed.

Our goal is to make the 2010 festival the biggest and best that Balbriggan has ever seen. With an extra day added to the Festival and more events planned make sure to be around and join in the fun.

In order to make the festival a success and to keep the cost of events to a minimum we will be running various fund raising events throughout the next few months and we hope to see you all there. Check out our upcoming events page where we will be posting information on things we have planned in the run up to the 2010 festival.

Balbriggan has grown in population by over 50% since 2002 with many people making Balbriggan their home. This is a great opportunity to meet up and share in memories that will become the history of the future.

We look forward to seeing you at the many events we have planned!!
