Fridays Most Stylish Competition
The Friday of the Galway Races Summer Festival is one of our most popular days as we head into the Bank Holiday weekend. Our ‘Fridays Most Stylish Award’ is one of the highlights of the week for the ladies who attend the Galway Races and there is always a fantastic atmosphere.
Athlone Towncentre’s Celebrity Judges will seek out people with a flair for style which reflects the vibrant summer Galway Races Festival. ‘Friday’s Most Stylish’ is expected to be one of the biggest gatherings of race going fashion lovers to date on the fifth day of the festival. With the competition in its ninth year, contemporary and boutique retailers, such as those housed within Athlone Towncentre, may also be reflected in the outfits worn by racegoers.
Athlone Towncentre is home to major fashion brands including Zara, River Island and H&M as well as boutiques. It is an ideal shopping destination with over 60 brands under one roof as well as numerous food offerings catering to all tastes.
We are delighted to have the generous support of Guinness for day five of our Summer Festival who have generously sponsored all races on the card. Thank you to Athlone Towncentre Shopping Centre for supporting Friday’s Most Stylish competition.
