The once popular Auld Lammas Fair returns to Ardboe this weekend.
The fair is being sponsored by the Cineál Eoghain Council, an umbrella group for Irish families and the Ancient Clan O'Neill.
It’s no stranger to the area.
At its pinnacle, the fair attracted thousands of people to the area.
There have been previous attempts made to get it up and running again, 20 years after it disappeared.
The fair will culminate in the burning of the Celtic wicker man.
The best known Lammas fair is held in Ballycastle.
