🌊 Discover the Ancient Secrets of the Garavogue River! 🌊

Did you know that Sligo's iconic river is tied to ancient landscape goddesses, miraculous saints, and a name derived from ancient shell-mounds?

Join us this Heritage Week as we dive deep into the rich water lore of the Garavogue River! From its mythic origins as a divine Cailleach to St. Patrick’s legendary blessing of the winter salmon, we are uncovering the stories, history, and folklore that have shaped the lifeblood of Sligo for millennia.

Come along to explore how this short yet mighty river carved out our history, language, and cultural heritage. All are welcome!
