Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann is coming to Belfast from Sunday August 2 to 9, 2026. Tap into the energy of this vibrant city as the world-famous festival lands on the banks of the Lagan. Discover lively pub sessions, spontaneous street performances and dramatic stage shows in Ireland’s only UNESCO City of Music. From big-name acts to emerging talent, it’ll all be here as you wander through waves of music and movement, culture and craic. Whether you’re a devoted follower of trad or a wide-eyed first timer, experience the world’s biggest celebration of Irish music, song, language and dance.

Fleadh Cheoil means "a festival, or feast, of music" and Comhaltas runs numerous Fleadhanna each year around Ireland including at County and Provincial level. Fleadhanna are also held in our overseas regions where they are sometimes known as "Féilte." However, the biggest and best- known of these festivals is "Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann,"’ often simply known as ‘The Fleadh’.

Join us for a wonderful event, with competitions in several categories, and Hall of Fame Banquet.

Comhaltas North America is coming to Florida for its North American convention with a major weekend festival of Irish music, song, dance and Irish language. Featuring the John Whelan All-Star Ceili Band. https://www.cceconvention.com
