The Clonmany Festival, which runs from August 3 to 10 this year, takes place on an annual basis and attracts thousands of holidaymakers and locals alike
The Clonmany Festival has donated €10,000 to the Doagh Famine Village.
The popular tourist attraction was a devastating fire that destroyed the museum's main building last Saturday week and there has been a huge fundraising drive to assist in its restoration.
"This contribution underscores the festival's ongoing commitment to supporting local heritage and community resilience," festival organisers say.
"The Doagh Famine Village, a poignant open-air museum in County Donegal, vividly portrays the hardships of rural life during the Great Famine and subsequent emigration. The recent fire, which gutted the main building, has left the museum in urgent need of restoration. The donation from the Clonmany Festival stands with other local businesses and organisations in facilitating a crucial step in the rebuilding process, aiding in the restoration of exhibits and facilities that educate visitors about this pivotal chapter in Irish history."
The Doagh Famine Village GoFundMe has now raised almost €100,000.
