Now in its third year, Kinnegar Brewing’s Summerfest has become a firm fixture on the August bank holiday weekend.
With festivals taking place in towns and villages all over the county, Summerfest gives Letterkenny’s citizens something of their own to celebrate on Saturday, August 1.
It’s a tried and trusted recipe for a Saturday afternoon session – good beer, live music and great food, all on the Front Lawn at the increasingly popular Ballyraine venue. With a stretch tent pitched for the occasion, it’s a great day out at the local brewery, no matter what the weather.

Live music in the Stretch Tent for Summerfest.
There’s live music from 1–7.30pm featuring Spanish guitar duo MARCUS & ALI. They’re followed by THE HAND ME DOWNS and STRING EMPIRE, a duo known for delivering atmospheric and electrifying performances showcasing intricate guitars and driving percussion.
On the food front, long-time Kinnegar food truck residents THE DIRTY SOULS will present a special menu for the day featuring their trademark Texas BBQ and smoked meats while ROSIE’s colourful caravan will dispense coffee, treats and vegan hot pots.
Admission is free and you’ll find Summerfest at Kinnegar Brewing, F92 R263. The event is family and dog friendly. Remember that the 973 Local Link service is perfect for getting you there and back!

Family-friendly and a lot of fun, Kinnegar Brewing’s Summerfest is now a fixture on August bank holiday Saturday.
