Inishowen Carnival Group
created a sculpture and performance trail in Swan Park,
inspired by stories of the ancient folklore associated
with the Red Branch Knights, a mystical landscape where
faerie folk and pagan gods reside, where curses are
cast, where warriors bargain with the gods, where the
power of the spirit world is summoned and where the
forces of light and darkness collide. |

Bridge. The trail ended with a twenty minute performance
by a host of mythical dancers. |
