A celebration of Irish tradition, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann allows visitors to explore Ireland’s Ancient East in Drogheda through music, song and dance in one of the biggest weekends of the year for traditional music.
An expected 400,000 people from Ireland and overseas are expected to make the trip to Drogheda this weekend. On Sunday, the best of the best will compete for All-Ireland glory in the Senior Céilí Band Competition at St Dominic’s Park.
With a truly unbeatable lineup of traditional musicians, the Fleadh is always a highlight of festival season and with good reason.
The Canal Quarter Festival is a weekend full of fun and great music in Tullamore. St. Kyran’s Street will be roofed and closed off throughout the weekend to make sure the weather doesn’t play a negative part in the experience for those in attendance.
