Thousands of children along with their family, friends, and volunteers will be descending on Athlone from August 12 to 14 and August 19 to 21.

More than 7,000 talented children have got through to this year’s finals from the four corners of Ireland and will be participating in more than 50 wide-ranging activities from table tennis and debating to indoor soccer, athletics, and rugby.

Community participation and volunteerism are an essential part of Community Games and these two weekends are the culmination of months of preparation from 570 affiliated areas.

Community Games organisers in association with the HSE would like to express their sincere thanks to all the volunteers the length and breadth of Ireland for their time and invaluable efforts in making sure that the festival is such a successful event year after year.
