A Message from the Chairperson

It is with enthusiasm and excitement that I bring you the 19th Leixlip Festival. However, even as we take pride in how far we have come, we should acknowledge that without the support of the Leixlip community it would not be possible to continue.

We are proud of our achievements, Leixlip, now has one of the longest running, community based festivals in North Kildare if not Leinster.

The 2008 programme promises to be even bigger and better than ever before,
our programme reflects our focus on Family entertainment. Highlights this year will be the introduction of the spectacular Corvenieos Entertainment, the ever popular Tug of War and Theatrical Pub Crawl, this year for the first time a 5-A-Side Soccer tournament, a tour of Weston Airport and much more.

Thanks to the festival committee, the stewards, the Gardai and everyone who has worked to make the festival such a success, also to the festival sponsors our continued appreciation. I wish you all a happy and safe week-end. Enjoy the fun.

Bernard Caldwell
