The story behind it
Organized under Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, it celebrates Gaelic culture and traditional arts. Festival events highlight local styles (Munster compositions, sean-nós singing) and the Irish language. Intergenerational involvement (young learners to aged masters) is a key element, reinforcing continuity of tradition. Often local folk legends and stories are shared in workshops.
