This festival combines a vibrant celebration of folk music, traditional dance, and community spirit with an eclectic fringe festival and the Party in the Paddock, a ticketed party all weekend for those of a more non-folk persuasion. The Allendale hosts a music programme - highlights include Eabhal and Murphy’s Lore Trio, Jigfoot hosting a Saturday Evening Ceilidh, and The Salts. Virtually every corner of the town will have entertainment or live music, with each pub running their own schedule featuring many local acts.
