Glengarriff Welcomes You

Welcome to the Jim Dowling Uilleann Pipe and Trad Festival which will be taking place in Glengarriff in West Cork, the gateway to the Wild Atlantic Way. Next year will be the 8th running of the festival and will be taking place from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st June 2020.

We can’t wait and once again, we welcome you all to Glengarriff to enjoy with us, a week of uninhibited traditional Irish music, craic, food and fun and above all else the unique sound of the Uilleann Pipes which will light up the village!

The festival can only happen with the help and support of our organisers and volunteers and as always we would like to thank them for everything they do. Take a bow!

Piping Hot line-up in store!

The sound of the uilleann pipes will be taking centre-stage in the picturesque village of Glengarriff in West Cork with a festival of great music to beat them all. We will be joined by Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Ulaid, 3 On The Bund, Ross Ainslie and Padraig McGovern to name but a few. There will be something for everyone - all the info is here. We hope you enjoy!
