Events & Festivals - Festivals  

The festive spirit runs throughout the year, from fantastic Saint Patrick’s Day festivities on March 17th to invigorating annual celebrations of Irish music, contemporary and traditional, at towns and villages alike. Gourmet food festivals, not least highlighting the region’s wonderful fish and seafood, abound and there are many festivals that reflect our passion for drama, literature and dance. Sports lovers can enjoy festivals of walking and famous annual competitions of world-class golf and angling and other sports.
