Riverstown, historically called Ballyederdaowen (Irish: Baile idir dhá Abhainn, meaning 'town between two rivers'),[2] is a village in County Sligo, Ireland.
Amenities and notable buildings in the area include the post office, Coopershill House and the Garda barracks (built c. 1890).
[5] Each year the village hosts the Riverstown Vintage Festival on the June Bank Holiday Weekend,[6] and the James Morrison Traditional Music Festival during the August Bank Holiday Weekend.
[7] During the 1990s, Riverstown and the Brookeborough Community Development Association launched the 'Riverbrooke Cross-Border Initiative' linking the two villages in a programme of cross-community/cross-border working.
[8][9] Sligo Folk Park, situated at the east end of the town, was created as the result of a community effort in the 1990s.
