BALLINROBE will host this year's Africa Day celebrations on Saturday May 25 from 1 pm to 5 pm at the Ballinrobe Racecourse.

This year, all 31 local authorities across Ireland - including Mayo - will host various cultural, artistic, and family-friendly events. These will include contemporary African-Irish culture, as well as family fun days, fashion, art, film, music, dance, and food events, which will take place in towns and cities across Ireland.
The Mayo event will consist of a cultural celebration through music, art, dance and song, family fun day, and an exhibition highlighting the Irish Aid programme in Africa.
