In Spring 2025, participants will sow oat seeds on local farms and at Mount Allen Eco Farm. After the autumn harvest, we\u2019ll gather in November at the Mayflower Hall, Drumshanbo, for workshops in crafting traditional Mummers\u2019 costumes, music, dance, and storytelling. Each participant is encouraged to bring someone new, expanding the circle of connection. Over Christmas, Mummers will visit homes across Leitrim, reviving the age-old tradition of house-to-house performances. On January 6th, the project culminates in a vibrant&nbsp;<strong>Mummers\u2019 Parade<\/strong>, followed by the&nbsp;<strong>Mummers\u2019 Ball.<\/strong>&nbsp;This inclusive project welcomes all ages and backgrounds, fostering creativity, community, and belonging. Many participants say it\u2019s the reason they feel truly part of Leitrim. It\u2019s not just a celebration it\u2019s a way of life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To get involved and find out more info please follow the link below:<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":37915,"template":"","class_list":["post-37914","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Mummers&#039; Parade &amp; Ball - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Mummers&#039; Parade &amp; Ball&nbsp;is a joyful, county-wide celebration of Leitrim\u2019s land, traditions, and community spirit.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-mummers-parade-ball\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Mummers&#039; Parade &amp; Ball - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Mummers&#8217; Parade &amp; Ball&nbsp;is a joyful, county-wide celebration of Leitrim\u2019s land, traditions, and community spirit.
