Amenities
Mweenish is situated in the Connemara Gaeltacht where the Irish language is spoken daily. The area is steeped in ancient culture and tradition agus is renowned for its traditional sean-nós singers and musicians.  Among the other traditions still alive and well in this area is that of the skilled boat-makers.

We are also fortunate that the National University of Ireland, Galway has located its centre 'Arás Shorcha Ní Ghuairim' in Carna and is now in the process of archiving material from our strong tradition of folklore and storytelling.

Local Attractions

St. Mac Dara's Island
In the sixth century St. Mac Dara built a small church on one of the islands off the coast, namely 'Cruach na Cara'. The Saint's feast day is celebrated on 16th July when people make their way to the island for the celebration of Mass. The feast day also incorporates a festival of hooker and currach racing in honour of St. Mac Dara, the Patron Saint of all seafarers.

There are many local lakes nearby if you wish to try your hand at a spot of fishing, not to mention the wild Atlantic ocean thats right on our door-step if sea-fishing is more to your liking!
