Roscommon Drama Festival was re-established in 2007

 

Roscommon Drama Festival
returned in 2007 after an absence of 27 years. The original Festival ran in the Royal Cinema from 1960 until 1980. When the cinema was sold no suitable venue was available. It is now an important part of the cultural and social calendar of Roscommon.
