Tonight: Thursday April 3rd Drogheda Samba Festival Table Quiz.

Venue:  Foley's Trinity Street @ 9pm.

Table of Four € 40 - Individuals catered for - Free Finger Food and free Drogheda Samba Festival teeshirts for first 10 teams to register.

For the past 20 years, Drogheda Samba Festival has been an important part of Drogheda's drive to attract visitors to the town, with many overseas visitors joining people from various parts of Ireland and locals for a three day celebration of Latin Music.

The festival gave a welcome economic boost and provided a great atmosphere on the streets of the town.

Because of cuts in funding and sponsorship there is a real danger that unless this shortfall is made up by fundraising that the festival may not go ahead this year and the organisers are hoping that Drogheda people will respond to their appeal to support this important fundraiser.
