The Mary From Dungloe International Arts Festival is centred around a competition to find out which contestant has the spirit of the festival, who is then crowned "Mary From Dungloe" Irish emigrant communities from around the world, as well as some Irish counties and towns, participate by nominating a young woman, endearingly titled a "Mary", to represent their community at the contest.

The festival has been held annually since 1967, usually at the end of July in the town of Dungloe, County Donegal.

But this year, things are different...
