A mostly free Irish and traditional Music Festival in the fishing village of Howth. For one weekend in May, Howth will be filled with Irish music of the past and present. Wander from gig to gig like you're at Electric Picnic but without any entry fee thanks to our sponsors Rockshore Lager and Fingal County Council. There will be almost 30 FREE GIGS and sessions in total.  On Saturday we will have Iarla Ó Lionáird with Cormac McCarthy in a special candlelit ticketed Concert in the beautiful 19th century St. Mary’s Church at the gates to the Castle. We will also have ticketed concerts in the wonderful medieval Abbey Tavern featuring Daoirí Farrell on Saturday and The Legend of Luke Kelly Dubliner on Sunday. In addition the highly respected local trad musician Leo Rickard will be giving an Uilleann Pipe Workshop on Saturday morning.
