Ballinasloe

29 September 2012 - 07 October 2012

A nine-day extravaganza of all things equestrian, with entertainment, music and great family fun, the Ballinasloe International October Fair & Festival is held in the town of Ballinasloe, County Galway. The nine day event gets off to a colourful start with some lively street theatre on Saturday 29th September, a huge favourite with kids of all ages. The actual Horse Fair takes place on three days - Sunday, September 30th, Monday, October 1st and on the following Saturday (Country Fair Day), October 5th - during the Festival. On the Sunday and Monday, the Fairgreen is the place to be with every breed of horse and pony on display, from the native Connemara pony to trotting ponies and wonderful Irish Draughts. Head to the Showgrounds on Saturday 8th October for Country Fair Day, a Mare & Foal Fair. With an assortment of fun events, street stalls, fireworks, tug-o-war, street & vintage parade, arts & crafts, music and children's events, there’s a sense of community about the show, but with around 65,000 visitors a year the word has spread.
