President Higgins will take part in the “Reclaiming the Dyke” walk.
The march up the Dyke Road to Eamonn Deacy Park celebrates the tradition in the early days of League of Ireland football in Galway when soccer fans walked up the Dyke Road together.
Reclaiming the Dyke is intended to bring a carnival atmosphere to Eamonn Deacy Park on the opening night of the 2019 season.
