The World's largest gathering of Rory Gallagher and Blues Rock fans in Ireland in 2025. Its 30 years since the passing of the Late Great Ballyshannon born Blues Guitarist and it will be a very Special remembrance and celebration of the life and music of Rory Gallagher. The streets of Ballyshannon come alive to the strains of guitars being eloquently played by superb musicians from everywhere. The Festival street gigs are pretty special in an enjoyable relaxed atmosphere with many at the towns celebrated Rory Gallagher sites such as at the Rory Gallagher life sized statue, at Rory Gallagher Place (on the street where a young Rory resided) at the Rock Hospital (where Rory was born) at the Rory Gallagher Theatre, at Allingham Park, at the Rory Gallagher Mural and at The Gables in the town centre that resembles a natural amphitheatre. This will be a real celebration of Rory's music for Rory's loyal fan base home and abroad. Be Part of It !!!
