- There are many fairs in Donegal. In small towns it is only held once a month, but in large towns it is held every week.
There is a fair in Burnfoot every week first Tuesday of the month, and there is a pig fair every Tuesday.
People go there to buy, and sell horses, sheep and cattle. The Burnfoot fair is held in Molloys street.
The people all assemble at Burnfoot some of them with cattle and some on them there to buy cattle.
