Final preparations are under way in Drumcoura City ahead of the inaugural Cowboys & Highwaymen Truckers Gathering, taking place this May Bank Holiday weekend from May 2nd to 4th.
The event will see over 100 show trucks from across Ireland roll into Leitrim for what promises to be one of the biggest truck meet-ups of the year. Hosted at Drumcoura City, the gathering will feature live country music, rodeo bull rides, a Texas-style barbecue, and plenty of saloon banter.
“The truckers are from the Highwaymen group, but they’re coming from all over Ireland,” said organiser Simon Power. “This is the first year, and we’re doing our bit for Leitrim tourism.”
The family-friendly event is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, with organisers encouraging locals and visitors alike to come out and soak up the atmosphere. From custom rigs and polished chrome to live bands and smoked brisket, the weekend promises a unique mix of motors and Wild West vibes.
Power, who returned from Spain this week, says the response so far has been strong. “It should be a busy event. I really wanted you to come down and see it,” he said.
The Cowboys & Highwaymen Truckers Gathering is a brand-new addition to Leitrim’s events calendar and is already generating serious buzz in the trucking community.
