The Kenmare Gangs of New York Gathering festival is a 3 to 4 day event in Kenmare Co Kerry from 30th of August to 1st September 2013 in honor of all those who emigrated shortly after the famine in the mid 1840’s. This gathering event is to mark their achievement of traveling for a new life and to bring together all the people whose ancestors traveled. It is also designed to share stories and memories in the hope of piecing together the event of history that unfolded and keep the spirit and community felt in this area alive.

Many of the Kenmare emigrants starving and destitute (drawn from the estate areas of Bonane Kenmare Tuosist Lauragh Kilgarvan and Templenoe) ended up living in the Five Points area of New York on Manhattan’s lower east side. One of the most famous people of this lineage was Congressman Big Tim Sullivan whose parents were Lansdowne tenants – he succeeded in naming a street in Manhattan, Kenmare Street in honour of his Mother

The weekend hosts many events for the people wanting to find their family tree to those who are interested in the historical story behind it all.

Guided historical walks around the main points of interest on the Lansdowne estate. A play in the Carnegie Arts Centre depicting life in the 1850’s and the story of the emigration programme instituted by WS Trench. The showing in the Carnegie Arts Centre of Sean De Morda’s ‘The Land is Gold’ documentary about Kenmare and the Lansdowne estate. A specifically designed heritage centre display telling the story of Kenmare and the Lansdowne Estate. A genealogy road show bus will be in the town for at least part of the festival providing resources for the visitors to further trace their family history. There really is something interesting to catch everybody’s attention.

To top the event off there is an unveiling of a plaque in the square telling the story of the Lansdowne estate and the five points. A similar plaque is being unveiled in Kenmare St New York next year.

This gathering inspired event will see people traveling from all over the Irish Isle, If you plan to visit the festival feel free to look at our accommodation & dining options.

“Fair day in Kenmare”

The 15^th of August has been a long term tradition in the town of Néidin, in English Kenmare. The fair dates back to the 1760’s. This fair originally consisted of two market days, August 15^th for the sale of cattle and other livestock while August 16^th was for the sale or materials and non-livestock items. Over the years and with the introduction of taxation on the sale of livestock the market days began to merge into one large fair day. The tradition of a market day in Kenmare remains to this very day with the new addition of tools, food, fortune tellers and much more. It is the perfect setting to witness old and new joining together in harmony.

This event is one of the highlights in Kenmare’s diary, it is a unique experience that everybody should enjoy at least once Kenmare town will be full of people and the atmosphere will be unlike anything else. Kenmare has one of the few remaining authentic fairs and people flock from far and near o buy & sell all kinds of everything. Market stalls will line the street and Kenmare will be like you’ve never seen it before. It truly is an experience not to be missed!

As Kenmare will be so busy it is suggested that you make your Accommodation and dinner reservations in advance of the day! If you are visiting for the fair day have a look at our accommodation and dining options.
