Good News Thursday: Drogheda Arts Festival

Things haven’t been so hot and busy on the good news front. In fact, very little good news has come across the desks at Achieve Marketing. We could be in a silo - but all we hear at the moment is Lisbon Treaty and Nama. Good news? oh dear!

But we have one good story to report. The Drogheda Arts Festival organised by the Drogheda Borough Council Art Office has just been short-listed for a Chambers Ireland Excellence in Local Government Award. We were instrumental in the copy-writing of the application form and are thrilled that they have gotten this far.

The Drogheda Arts Festival started 6 years ago and goes from strength to strength. When I was Marketing Officer for the Droichead Arts Centre, I was on the periphery of the organisation. It takes time, stamina and strength to organise a five day festival over the May bank holiday.

It’s one of the first arts festivals to appear on the National calendar and they certainly kick start it off in style.

The Local Government awards take place in October and from all of us at Achieve Marketing, we wish them the very best of luck.

A good news story indeed.
