The Connacht Fleadh & Festival is coming to Ballina this year from Friday, 23 June to Sunday 02 July to coincide with the 300th anniversary of the formal establishment of the town.
The Moy Valley CCÉ and Bofield CCÉ branches of Comhaltas have joined forces to stage the event, where around 2,000 competitors will compete in the Fleadh competitions in a bid to qualify for the All-Ireland Fleadh.
In addition to the competitions, a Fleadh Festival street programme of events is planned for the centre of the town during the week leading into the Fleadh, which will include workshops, ceilis, street entertainment and pub sessions. Ballina will become a Nirvana of celebrations of Irish music and dance for a whole week.
