KILFLYNN VINTAGE WEEKEND 2024
The annual Kilflynn Vintage Weekend takes place from Saturday 15th – Sunday 16th June. There is a fantastic weekend in store for both young and old.
The weekend’s events kick off at 7pm on Saturday evening where the Vintage Tractor Run will depart the village. On return there will be a barbeque in the village to kick off the weekend.
The Vintage Car and Honda 50 Run will depart the village at 11am Sunday morning. At 12 noon the official opening of the field will take place and the day’s events will get underway. There will be a wide variety of vintage displays including cars, tractors, motorbikes, stationary engines, steam engines, threshers, forge and blacksmith demonstrations as well as much more.
Sunday is very much a family day out with entertainment for all ages provided. For the younger generations there will be bouncing castles, face painting, novelty games! For the adults there will be live music and entertainment throughout the day by “The Singing Jarvey”, as well as some great displays of machinery from by-gone-days. The ever-popular Dog show will take place at 3pm.
The Kilflynn Vintage Club greatly appreciates the support that the local community and surrounding areas give us each year. It is because of this support that the club has thrived over the last 28 years. With the help of your support the club has raised funds for numerous different charities and local groups. We hope to see you all in Kilflynn from June 15th and 16th for what should be a fantastic weekend of celebrations!
