Circus Mania 2019
This summer we will stage the 21st Muckno Mania Festival between 4th to 7th July. Having started out as a one day event in August 1999, the Festival continues to be staged as a family Festival which promotes sport and music with a particular focus on the Arts.
This year the Festival theme is “Circus" and throughout the weekend we hope to capture the true essence of circus. All are invited to be part of this weekend spectacle where excitement and laughter are guaranteed. Talented performers will use their imagination to provide a weekend of magic, music and festivities.
As always the Festival is driven by a dedicated group of individuals who work unselfishly each year to stage one of the most important and invaluable events in the town's annual calendar. The Muckno Mania Festival was first introduced by Castleblayney Community Enterprise Centre in 1999 and they continue to provide management and resources to support the committee which in turn ensure that the Festival has lasted for over 20 years.
