Attention trad music lovers!
Every summer, a host town on the island of Ireland welcomes musicians, dancers and performers from across the globe for a rip-roaring traditional music celebration. At Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the world’s largest annual festival of Irish music, you can expect street performers, intimate concerts, big-name acts and over 150 competitions showcasing the very best of traditional music talent.

Due south
The Fleadh Cheoil takes place in Wexford town in County Wexford this year, a town with a significant musical heritage, which also hosts the Wexford Festival Opera.
The competition is fierce with solo acts, duets, trios, groups, céilí bands, sean nós singing and dancing all in store.
This is your chance to really immerse yourself in Ireland’s musical heritage. Get your toes tapping at a traditional céilí dance, soak up the atmosphere of a trad session in a cosy pub or take in the delights of a street parade. You can even practice your ‘cúpla focal’ (few words) at an Irish language workshop or stop by a lecture or two.
