Foxford Traditional Weekend 2026

A family-friendly festival with events for all ages, this four-day celebration takes place each October in Foxford, Co. Mayo. Something of a best-kept secret, it offers an authentic and intimate experience of traditional music, song, dance and storytelling.

A rich programme of concerts, sessions, workshops and cultural events brings audiences up close to outstanding performers from Ireland and beyond. Led by experienced musicians, the festival attracts exceptional talent each year, with artists such as Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta, Ryan Molloy and Edwina Guckian among those featured for 2026.

Set in a town with a deep musical heritage, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and grounded in a strong musical tradition.
