Mayo Day 2021

Home To Mayo

Mayo County Council’s ‘Home to Mayo’ selected as part of Global Irish Festival Series

The Global Irish Festival Series, a Fáilte Ireland and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade initiative, aims to harness diaspora links for the benefit of local and community tourism.

Mayo County Council is delighted that Home To Mayo 2022, a Mayo Tourism and Diaspora connection initiative has been selected to be part of the Global Irish Festival Series – a joint initiative between Fáilte Ireland and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Home to Mayo will see a series of events running throughout the month of May 2022 incorporating existing festivals along with participatory experiences across towns in the county. Home to Mayo will also include the internationally celebrated Mayo Day. The campaign launches for Mayo Day 2021 and looks to encourage the Mayo diaspora to visit Mayo for the festival series in 2022.

We have a global Diaspora network that is second to none on this island. This campaign will welcome the return of our diaspora to Mayo where they can enjoy a series of interesting and thoughtful events and initiatives that will resonate strongly with them and with all Mayo people at home and abroad.  Start planning your trip!!!!
