The proponents of LOVEDROGHEDA believe that the future prosperity and well being of Drogheda City is very much dependent on the ability of its people to work together. Many of the projects we are proposing are dependent on groups of people in Drogheda coming together and collaborating.

It is a proven fact that towns and cities that collaborate, are economically and socially vibrant, attract inward investment and funding, are progressive and places that people want to make home.

Many of the projects proposed will involve the BID company and rate payers working together with many organisations in Drogheda and collaborating to make the projects happen. This means conducting business in a positive, respectful and constructive manner.

After a successful funding application that was made to Town & Village acceleration scheme in 2021, where we received a total of €44,444 to use towards numerous projects, Love Drogheda BIDS installed a Town Centre Music System to be used over the Christmas Period and during festivals or events.This music system filled West Street with holiday music during the Christmas period in 2021 and will be used in the future to help create an inviting and fun atmosphere in the town. We also purchased a mobile audio-visual system, which has already featured in an outdoor cinema as part of the Púca festival celebrations. We look forward to using these new features in future festivals and events for the town.
