Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann takes place from August 20-22, 2010 and will be held in Cavan Town - This is the first time that the All-Ireland Fleadh has returned to the Ulster Town since that memorable Fleadh back in 1954.
With a strong Irish tradition that has thrived down through the years, all traditional performers and enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to visiting Cavan Town for 10 days or so of “craic agus ceol” next August.
The Fleadh is now an 8 day event, incorporating the Scoil Éigse (the Comhaltas Summer school) running for the full week before the event and the Seachtain na hÉigse 2010 with 2 or 3 events and concerts every night of the Fleadh week. More information can be found at the official Fleadh website.
The All-Ireland Fleadh is Ireland’s premier traditional festival. The Organising Committee are aiming for over 250,000 visitors and 11,000 musicians to attend this year’s event.
The national finals for the annual Irish language conversation competition, in which all counties participate, will also be held at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
