Leixlip Festival 2010
The 21st year
Thursday 3rd June to Monday 7th June
A Message from the Chairperson
It is with enthusiasm and excitement that I bring you the 21st Leixlip Festival. We are proud of our achievements over the past 21 years. The Leixlip Festival is now one of the longest running community festivals in County Kildare.
The 2010 Festival programme as been one of the most difficult events to organise due to cut backs in funding. However, with the assistance of a hard working committee and a dedicated group of stewards I feel once again we have put together a wonderful display of family entertainment. Without the support of our loyal sponsors it would not be possible to bring you the Leixlip Festival, also the great support we receive from the Gardai - Kildare County Council and Leixlip Town Council.
This is my 21st festival and 16th year as chairman, As a local Town Councilor I feel the aims and objectives of the Festival over the years has succeeded in promoting Leixlip, and offering the businesses an opportunity to increase their turnover. Also the Festival been instrumental in creating a good community spirit.
Finally I ask you to respect the Village Residents and obey the Gardai and Stewards at all times. I wish you all a happy and safe week-end. Enjoy the fun.
