THE eagerly awaited countdown is on for this Years Ederney Party in the Park Festival. Opening this year’s festival on Friday, July 18, is country man, Nathan Carter.

Nathan played the festival seven years ago to about 200 people and now the organisers are erecting a huge marquee to accommodate up to 1,000, such is the demand for the singer.

On his way to becoming an international star, this is the only date Nathan is playing in Fermanagh this summer and as a result huge crowds are expected.

On the Saturday night the ever popular More Power to Your Elbow return, with their blend of rock and celtic vibes they are guaranteed to have the marquee jumping. With 20 years experience in their line up the band’s strength is their energy and crackling intensity which sets them apart as one of the best live acts around.

Sunday will be an action packed family fun day with bouncy castles, slides and a host of entertainment for the family.
