Another local artist Mark Wilson will launch the Viking Longboat on another tour of the village and will be joined by stilt walkers and much more entertainment.

Also on Friday, the Mountshannon Illustrated Map which is hosted by Mountshannon Arts in association with Mountshannon Community Council will be launched. Anita’s at 6pm will be the location for the launch where chairperson of Mountshannon Arts, Melanie White will unveil this brand new digital map which features Mountshannon’s many artistic and architectural landmarks.

All are welcome to view the map which will also be available as a poster’ ‘We are delighted to be able to host two events on Culture Night and look forward to meeting everyone”.
