Some places are best discovered on foot, and Carlow is one of them. Carlow Tourism is inviting walkers from across Ireland to lace up their boots and experience some of the county’s spectacular scenery at the Carlow Autumn Walking Festival 2026.
Taking place throughout the beautiful countryside of County Carlow, the festival is a great way to explore the Blackstairs Mountains and some of the county's most treasured walking routes in the company of experienced local guides and fellow walkers, while enjoying the warm friendship, shared experiences and welcoming atmosphere that characterise this festival.
The festival celebrates the remarkable diversity of Carlow's walking experiences, from rugged mountain trails and historic routes to nature-focused walks that showcase the area's rich wildlife, biodiversity and heritage.
Running from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th October 2026.
