The concept of bringing together concerts, c้ilithe, music, song and dancing workshops, street entertainment, pageants/parades and much more wasis still a winning formula today as evidenced by the thousands of visitors who flock to the festival every May for a week of unsurpassed traditional entertainment. Check out the programme of events at www.fleadhnua.com This year, the Fleadh opens with a world record attempt on the largest ever ceilidh, when over 8000 people will be dancing the Siege of Ennis.
