01  —  The Festival

Heritage &
Tradition

Louisburgh, is a small town on the western seaboard, in an area of great natural beauty, rich in heritage and tradition. Féile Chois Cuain is an annual celebration of this cultural heritage and it has a well-deserved reputation as one of Ireland’s premier traditional arts festivals. It is a magical weekend of music, song and dance, where extraordinary atmosphere prevails as old friends get together and new friendships are forged. Come to Louisburgh this May Bank Holiday Weekend and experience it for yourself!

Is baile beag álainn é Cluain Cearbán – baile atá suite ar an gcósta thiar agus a bhfuil áilleacht nádúrtha, oidhreacht shaibhir agus traidisiúin láidre ag baint leis. Gach bliain, déantar ceiliúradh ar an oidhreacht chultúrtha sin leis an bhFéile. Tá cáil i bhfad is i gcéin ar Fhéile Chois Cuain mar cheann de na féilte ealaíon is fearr in Éirinn. Tá draíocht ag baint leis an deireadh seachtaine ceoil, amhránaíochta agus damhsa seo, áit a mbíonn atmaisféar thar cionn, áit a gcastar seanchairde ar a chéile agus áit a ndéantar cairdis nua. Bí linn i gCluain Cearbán chun blaiseadh den draíocht a fháil an deireadh seachtaine saoire bainc i mí na Bealtaine.
