A festival celebrating the life and work of Éamonn Ceannt will get underway in the city tomorrow.
The festival will feature street events, an international pipe-band parade, and performances by leading uileann and bagpipers from Ireland, Scotland and the USA.
A special exhibition will also be opened at the City Museum to commemorate the 1916 Proclamation signatory, piper and founding member of Na Píobairí Uilleann.
The week-long festival, in association with the Galway Sessions, gets underway on Sunday, and the full programme of events is available at galwaysessions.com.
Director of Galway Sessions, Mick Crehan says it’s important to commemorate Eamonn Ceannt and his connection with Galway.
