Once more the Lourdes Band will rekindle long standing friendships with our fellow Bands and the Clonakilty community which we have grown to love and know so well over the years.

Saturday 5th July will see a vast gathering of Bands from all parts of Ireland and further afield. The town will be in full festival spirit for the weekend. The South of Ireland Band Championships will be the center piece of the occasion and demonstrate the high level of musical abilities our Bands have.
