First ever Mayo Day takes places on 2nd May 2015.

Mayo Day is set to be a celebration of our ‘Mayo-ness’ in Mayo Communities worldwide. On May 2nd 2015, Mayo People at home and away have an opportunity to celebrate all that is great about their progressive, can-do County. This day is an opportunity for Business, Communities, Families, Individuals to celebrate who we are, and where we come from, a day in the calendar year that recognises Mayo and its people

The unique concept driven by Mayo County Council, will see events take place in towns and villages around Mayo, while at the same time events are scheduled in Mayo Communities overseas. Lighting of iconic buildings and bridges across our County will take place in addition to lighting of some international iconic locations…

We invite all Mayo Business to play their part, shops, bars, restaurants across the County to embrace the Inaugural Mayo Day celebrations. This is an opportunity for you to ensure your business is part of this unique event. Encourage shop local campaigns, create Mayo Day discounts, highlight mayo products, create mayo day specials on your menu.
