Féile na Finne : 31ú Bealtaine – 3ú Meitheamh
Beidh Féile na Finne ar siúl deireadh seachtaine na Cincise agus is í seo an triú Féile bliantiúl don choiste seo.
Is é an tAthair Aodh Mac Suibhne, sagart paróiste Ghleann t-Suili, atá ag oscailt an fhéile go h-oifigiúil i mbliana.
Bhí an t-Athair Mac Suibhne ina shagart cúnta i mBaile na Finne agus ba é a thóg an Teach Phobail galánta atá ag ceiliriú 25 bliain a bhunaithe i mí na Nollag i mbliana.
Tá clár imeachtaí do shean agus óg a eagrú agus anois is aimsir mhaith an rud is tábhachtai duinn leis an ócáid a chur i gcrith. Is fíor a rá gur ceanntár álainn í an Ghealtacht Láir go hiomlán. Idir cnoic agus gleannta, locha agus aoibhneacha, níl a shárú le fáil.
Tá an coiste fíor bhuíoch do áchán nduine a bhéir tacaíocht dóibh agus tá siad ag dréim go dtiocfaidh beag agus mór amach agus sult a bhaint as an deireadh seachtaine.
