Fingal will now be an integral part of Ireland’s largest trad and folk music festival, TradFest 2023, Fingal County Council have announced.
Every January, Tradfest showcases the best of established and emerging musical talents to the growing audience in Ireland and internationally. However, this is the first time that Tradfest ventures beyond its traditional base in Dublin City Centre. The festival will have over 50 events taking place over five days from Wednesday, 25 to Sunday, 29 January.
The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Howard Mahony said: “This really is an exciting opportunity for Fingal to be an integral part of the much-admired TradFest calendar, a cornerstone of the traditional music scene. It gives us the chance to celebrate and showcase the wonderful and rich musical heritage we have here in Ireland, and to do so in some of our most iconic locations, from the majestic Malahide Castle and the beautiful chapel in the heart of Swords Castle to the beauty of Shackleton Gardens in Clonsilla.
