Currachs and Galway hookers will take to the water off An Spidéil, Co Galway, on Sunday, June 11th for Féile an Spidéil.
Kerry, Clare and Donegal teams have travelled to the event in past years to join crews from across Connemara and Galway city.
Racing will take place across six categories from 12 noon, weather permitting.
The first race is the senior men’s, and this will be followed by the senior women’s contest, with three oarspeople in each craft from a number of clubs.
Under-18s will have their opportunity to compete, and mixed crew will then compete against each other.
The final racing involves naomhógs in the Craobh na hÉireann event.
The contest between Galway hookers, involving the “ báid mhóra” and “leath bháid” classes, will take place from 3 pm.
The event is weather dependent – last year, two separate dates for Féile an Spidéil had to be postponed and then cancelled, due to adverse forecasts.
