It commences with a launch and an evening of music and crack on Friday; there will be keynote speakers on the Saturday followed by dinner and entertainment including Bluegrass Music from the Broken String Band.
On the Sunday, there will be a tour of early historical sites of east Donegal along with a visit to Monreagh Church for unaccompanied singing of the psalms.
