Cong Festival

Cong (Cunga) is a beautiful scenic village in Co. Mayo in the West of Ireland. Ideal for fishing, it is nestled between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask. Both loughs are connected by underground streams.

While in Cong you can enjoy unforgettable walks fly a hawk at Ashford Castles School of Falconry, take a trek with the equestrian centre or take a leisurely cruise on Lough Corrib to Inchagoill Island with Corrib Cruises but be sure not to forget your camera!!!!!!

Cong is famous for the filming of the movie “The Quiet Man” by John Ford in 1951, which stared Maureen O Hara and John Wayne. Anyone who ever visited Cong always receives a warm welcome and usually extends their stay.

Thursday 26th July 2012, saw the official launch of this year’s Cong Festival. It was a great night and we have had fantastic support from our committe, local community and counsellors. We would like to thank every-one for their support so far and look forward to the Festival in the coming weeks.
