Donegal Youth Service thanks all who celebrated its 45th anniversary

Donegal Youth Service celebrates its 45th anniversary.

Donegal Youth Service’s Party In The Park festival was held on July 25 at Letterkenny Town Park and celebrated the service’s 45th anniversary with a day of music, family fun, and community.

Supported by Our Generation, a project supported by PEACEPLUS and managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPD), Earagail Arts Festival and the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport’s Small Scale Local Festivals Scheme, the festival brought together young people, families, and communities from Donegal, and performers as widespread as Tipperary, Newry, and Manorhamilton.

A special birthday cake marked 45 years of Donegal Youth Service, while more than 60 young performers showcased their talents across the Paul Mooney Main Stage and the newly established Ted Ponsonby Stage.

Donegal Youth Service says “we would like to sincerely thank all of the young people, performers, volunteers, staff, local Councillors, community partners, vendors, and attendees who helped make the event such a success. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year.”

As the organisation celebrates 45 years of supporting young people across Donegal, Party In The Park continues to demonstrate the positive impact of youth work in bringing people together, creating opportunities, and strengthening communities.
