This  Plein Air gathering celebrating took place along the Grand Canal on Friday 20th September.  

Approximately 50 people gathered on the banks of the Grand Canal in close proximity to the Patrick Kavanagh statue to read verses from the poets and writers of the Baggotonia era.

The inaugural Baggotonia Festival takes place later this week on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st September. The SGCRA have been delighted to support this initiative as it has taken shape over the last year.

It was standing room only at the programme launch of the Baggotonia Festival at the Dylan Hotel last Thursday evening.
