Fringe Fleadh Events Across The County

In the lead-up to the Fleadh Cheoil this August, County Wexford will come alive with the sound, spirit, and soul of Irish tradition. From Rosslare to Enniscorthy, Gorey to New Ross, the entire county will be a stage for celebration as the Fringe Fleadh 2025 brings communities together through music, dance, art, and storytelling.

The Fringe Fleadh will feature an exciting and diverse programme of events designed to immerse locals and visitors alike in the heart of Irish culture. From traditional music echoing through cosy pubs to lively dance workshops, thought-provoking art exhibitions, and captivating storytelling sessions, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
