Donaghadee was the main port of entry for Scottish settlers moving to Ulster when Hugh Montgomery arrived in May 1606. The Hamilton and Montgomery Settlement was the first permanent, large-scale Scottish settlement in Ireland and it was these settlers who would first be described (in 1640) as “Ulster-Scots”. This three-day festival celebrates the town’s strong Ulster-Scots connection through talks, food music, and dance.
Unless otherwise stated, events will take place in a tented village erected in the former Translink site (Old Bus Station, near Donaghadee Community Centre, The Parade, Donaghadee, Co Down, BT21 0HF).
Entry to the festival is free.
