Howth Maritime & Seafood Festival – We were there!
September seen the Fingal Community Volunteers in the beautiful fishing village of Howth. This annual event,was organised by Fingal County Council.
It was a fantastic weekend filled with lots of free family fun including a circus, live music, gourmet food trucks, bouncy castles and craft areas.
We had an amazing team of 22 Community Volunteers who helped with directions, kite making, distributing child safety wristbands and giving the public information on the festival.
