Portarlington will fire up again in June with this festive winter party along the foreshore and throughout the town. Gathering the best Folk and Celtic artists and performers, celebrating with a sensational line-up and plenty of craic– we can’t wait to see you.

There will be no shortage of live music, bars, markets, workshops, sessions, delicious food, dancers, writers, children’s entertainment, pipe bands, theatre, demonstrations, and special events – get ready for four days of music, arts and culture. 

And if it’s something a little different you are looking for there are the Heavy Games – with the largest athletes in the world competing in traditional highland games as well as demonstrations of the Irish sport of Hurling. 

This year’s full festival program will run across a range of venues and the foreshore will become a festive winter party with spaces to gather for a catch-up and a drink. Whether you come for the whole weekend or just a day there is something for everyone. 

WARM YOUR SOUL; DELIGHT YOUR SENSES; CONNECT WITH FESTIVAL SPIRIT THIS WINTER 2023.

THE CRAIC WILL BE MIGHTY!
