Groomsport & the
Eagle Wing Festival |
 |
The Eagle Wing Festival celebrates our
links with America during the 4th of
July celebrations. In 1636 an emigration
ship called Eagle Wing sailed out of
Groomsport taking 140 Presbyterians in
search of a new life in the New World.
Although they did not reach their
destination and were forced to return
home after two months at sea, the Eagle
Wing was the spark that lit the flame of
emigration to the New World. Since then
several million people have left these
shores, taking with them their culture
and traditions. We have become familiar
with American Culture, but in Groomsport
there is special reason to celebrate it.
The Festival aims to foster good
Community Relations between neighbours,
whether they live next door or 3,000
miles away in America. The event
includes open-air concerts, a carnival
parade, talks and workshops and much
more |
