Below is a list of Trad Fest events with fees. We work hard bringing in and hiring some of the best Irish traditional performers and teachers and ticket sales only cover a portion of the costs so we greatly appreciate donations! Sessions are all free and open to the public so if you're just here for the "craic", please consider a donation (on the Donations page) - and THANK YOU for supporting live music and dance!
