A day of commemoration and celebration will take place in Manorhamilton this Sunday to mark the renaming of Lower Main Street in the town.

Sunday’s events start in Manorhamilton with a parade at 2pm.
A festive concert at 3:45 will include a reading of the Proclamation followed by The Army Pipers Recital and the Emerald Revelers.
At 5:30 there will be a lecture in The Glens Centre on the impact of the 1916 Rebellion on Manorhamilton.
There will also be an exhibition in The Sculptuire Centre from 6:30 to 9pm, which will run until June 4th.
