Hosted by Loup Comhaltas Branch, the setting on the shores of Lough Neagh was a fitting backdrop for what was a vibrant celebration of Irish traditional music and cultural.
It featured a full programme of music competitions, with participants of all ages competing for the opportunity to progress to the Ulster Fleadh and ultimately Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Belfast.
The event was the first Fleadh in Ulster in the All-Ireland series.
