Over 3,000 young people enjoy Amplified festival in Mayo
Published:
OVER 3,000 young people rocked Knockmore GAA grounds yesterday for the annual Foróige Amplified festival.
Foróige clubs from all around Mayo and across Ireland came together for the country’s largest alcohol- and drug-free festival for teenagers.
A summer highlight for many teenagers, the bumper crowd enjoyed live music and dancing, with 20 DJs, fairground rides and games, and more, in a real celebration of friendship.
Hats off to the team of volunteers who make Amplified possible every year, giving young people an opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable experience in a safe, welcoming environment.
