 Temple Bar Trad Fest

 January 22nd - 27th  Various Times & Locations Throughout Dublin 

The Temple Bar TradFest began in 2005. Prior to this Dublin City had

been lacking a festival that celebrated Traditional Irish Music and Culture

for over 20 years. A voluntary membership based organization, TempleBar Traders, came together to start the Temple Bar TradFest. Since that

time the festival has continued to grow in size, recognition and quality.

The Temple Bar TradFest has gained a reputation as the one of the biggest

and best traditional Irish music and culture festivals in Ireland.
