Derrygonnelly (from Irish Doire Ó gConaíle, meaning 'O'Connelly's oak grove')[2][3] is a small village and townland in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Near Lower Lough Erne, the village was home to 680 people at the 2011 Census[4] and dates to the Plantation era.[3] It is situated within Fermanagh and Omagh district.
The village has a long history of Irish traditional music and each year in early October there is a celebration of local talent in memory of musicians Eddie Duffy and Mick Hoy.[3] Musicians come from all over Ireland and from further afield to enjoy this festival which bases itself in any of Derrygonnelly's four pubs.
