Fleadh is the Irish word for festival, and every year, these festivals take place at county, provincial and national level. These festivals celebrate Irish music, dance, song and language.

Towns hosting the various festivals can expect many thousands of visitors and a wide range of talented people of all ages.
A variety of events are usually held throughout the week, leading up to a weekend of competitions in venues around the town.

This year, Bagenalstown was chosen as the town to host Fleadh Laighean (Leinster Fleadh) and a huge amount of work has gone into ensuring that everyone who visits here will come away with happy memories, maybe some medals and 🤞🤞 a ticket to the All Ireland Fleadh in August!
It’s also a bit of a double whammy this year, as the Bagenalstown Summer Madness festival is on during the same week as Fleadh!
The past 9 months of the Fleadh and Town committees working together has really been testament to the power of teamwork 💪🏽😁
