‘Mayo Day 2020’ on Saturday will offer a different festival this year, with a virtual reality mix of chat from home and abroad, ceol agus craic, food demos, arts and crafts, a Mayo Quiz Day plus a wide range of competitions through live streams and content via Mayo.ie and also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Due to the social distancing restrictions imposed as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, rather than coming together to honour our people and our county, now in its sixth year, ‘Mayo Day 2020’ will provide an opportunity for us to celebrate online in the safe environs of our homes and gardens!
‘Mayo Day 2020’ will feature music and entertainment as in previous years’ events, but this time Mayo.ie will set the stage for Mayo Day Live – Global Voices, featuring performances from artists such as Lisa Canny, Cathal Gavin (our ‘Young Mayo Person of the Year’ for 2020) and Stuart Moyles, live from their own homes.
Mayo Day Live – Global Voices will also feature interviews from Mayo people in communities from New York, Cleveland and Chicago to Malaysia, Dubai and Sydney, and closer to home, from our own Association and Mayo Associations in Galway and Manchester.
