  1. The Local Fairs

    Share Share Post
    The local fairs of Baltinglass are held on the third Monday and Tuesday of every Month. It is held out around the streets. There is no money to be paid to get into the fair. When a farmer or any body buys a cow they give money back to the buyer which they call luck. When a beast is bought it is marked with a raddle and others with tar and others are clipped on the side with a scissors. When an animal is sold the halter is not given nor the pole is not given. The biggest fair is the Christmas fair. The fairs are not held at a historical place in the town of Baltingalss
