Celebrate diversity in Sligo with the Cairde Festival, from July 1st to 8th. Watch Sligo come alive with a vibrant weeklong explosion of music, theatre, dance, family events, visual art, and much more.
Some of this year’s highlights include Yungchen Lhamo in concert with Liam O’Maonlai, Madu, Delicious O’Grady, The Cool Mules, Papagena Puppet Theatre, and a whole lot more. Annual highlights include The Shelly River Boat Race, also part of the Season of Yeats, which is inspired by Jack B. Yeats’s love of model boats. Park Fest is another major draw. Both events are great celebrations for all the family– and both are free!
A unique aspect of Cairde is Concerts in Care, a series of performances in care settings for those who are not able to attend public venues.
So clear your diary from July 1st to 8th and come to Sligo. You’ll discover events that will inspire, captivate, and challenge. For your accommodation, choose GoIreland. We have a great selection of quality accommodation in Sligo so you can enjoy the Cairde Festival in comfort.
