Children’s Competition at Indie’Go Music Festival

The Indie’Go Music Festival is a new family friendly festival taking place in Fenagh, Co. Carlow on August 6th, 7th and 8th.  It promises loads of fun including 40 bands, 20 DJ’s and an array of exciting performances and workshops for all the family. Sounds like our kind of festival.

Ans what’s more! The good folks at Indie’Go are currently running a children’s competition to win a 3 day family ticket to the festival. The idea is for the kids to get creative with a digital camera (or just paper and crayons ) and post their entry to the Indie’Go Facebook page. Apart from tickets, the winning images will also be featured (and credited!) on Indie’Go’s promotional materials – from the  website and social networks to printed leaflets, programmes, posters and even in set decoration. The closing date for entries is July 2nd.
