TradFest 2026

TradFest has grown into more than a festival; it’s a movement to redefine traditional music as a space for innovation, inclusion and connection.

It started out as a small, niche music festival in 2006, but TradFest has since become a firm fixture in the festival calendar, with line-ups that appeal to trad purists and the culturally curious.

TradFest lights up the dark days of January, bringing a sense of celebration through the medium of cultural expression and live performance, with the very best of traditional, folk and contemporary talent from both home and abroad on offer.

Join TradFest in some of the most breathtaking venues across Dublin City and County for a celebration of trad and folk music.
