Recent Death Walled Towns Day – Sunday 26th August Various activities are well underway in preparation for the Fethard Walled Towns Day which will take place, during National Heritage Week, on Sunday 26th August next. Members of Fethard Historical Society are being kept busy preparing flags for use on the day. These flags, echoing the heraldic theme of the day, will be hanging from the town wall which will be the setting for most of the day's events. The parade, led by the 6ft long Loughnashade Trumpet, followed by the pupils with their coats of arms, will leave the town square at 2pm. Both medieval and topical entries are welcome as part of the parade so start planning your entry now! There are several €50 vouchers to be won on the day for best entries. Other events confirmed for the festival day will be a demonstration of how prehistoric musical instruments were used in Ireland by the Sounds Ancient group from North Galway. A puppet show will take place at 3pm, while The Lee Valley String Band will also play their music for the afternoon. Many other organized events are also planned for the day. Pupils who made a Coat of Arms in their school in June are reminded to come to The Square at 1.15pm on Sunday 26th August where they will be given their shield to take part in the parade.
