Fleadh Na gCuach (Cuckoo Festival) Community Festival of Traditonal Music Literature & Arts
Kinvara Galway.

Fleadh na gCuach (The Cuckoo Fleadh), is a hugely enjoyable and successful festival of traditional music and community-based arts. The festival, which is now in its 29th year, takes place this May bank holiday weekend in the beautiful, scenic village of Kinvara, Co. A well-established and richly deserved reputation has ensured that the Fleadh has become a showcase for the best in traditional music, attracting musicians from all over the country and beyond.

**FLEADH NA gCUACH NEEDS YOU!
After three fantastic and fun years at the helm, the current Fleadh na gCuach committee has decided it’s time to pass the baton to a new team.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and hugely grateful to everyone who has supported the festival along the way. ❤️

But organising the Fleadh takes time, energy and people willing to get involved. **We will not be running the festival ourselves in 2027.**

We’d love to see Fleadh na gCuach continue, but **unless a new team steps forward to take it on, there will be no festival in 2027.**

👉 **Could you be part of the next chapter?** If you’re interested in getting involved, whether on your own or with a group of others, please get in touch. We’re happy to share our experience, offer advice and help make the handover as smooth as possible.

Contact us at [email protected]

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped make the past three years such a success. Let’s hope we can find the people to keep the music, fun and community spirit of Fleadh na gCuach alive! 🎻💚
