The Fair You've Never Heard Of: A Tour of The Ould Lammas Fair, 2024 and Town of Ballycastle.

Join me on an electrifying adventure as I wander from Castle St. to Ann St., then to the Diamond, Quay Rd, and finally the breathtaking Sea Front, culminating with the exhilarating fun fair at the Playing Fields for the Ould Lammas Fair 2024 in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland! This iconic event, rich in history, occurs every year on the last Monday and Tuesday of August, honoring the Lammas harvest festival. With roots nearly 400 years deep, the fair holds the title of the oldest in Ireland, drawing traders from all across Ireland and beyond. Dive into the lively atmosphere as you uncover a treasure trove of goods, including livestock and traditional treats like yellowman (a sweet honeycomb delight) and dulse (edible seaweed). The fair's magic is celebrated in the cherished ballad, "The Ould Lammas Fair in Ballycastle O," written by the talented local fiddler and shopkeeper John Henry MacAuley, who sadly passed away in 1937 before his song soared to fame.
