Cobh Trad Fest
Cobh Trad Fest is a community-driven celebration of traditional and folk music set in the historic harbour town of Cobh, County Cork. Taking place from July 25–27, 2025, the festival brings together acclaimed artists, local talent, and music lovers of all ages for a weekend of live concerts, pub sessions, workshops, and street performances.
Run by a passionate team of musicians and volunteers, Cobh Trad Fest is rooted in the town’s rich cultural heritage and maritime spirit. From headline acts at the Commodore Hotel to spontaneous tunes on the Five Foot Way, the festival offers something for everyone — whether you're a trad purist, casual listener, or first-time visitor.
Join us as we fill the town with music, stories, and the warm welcome Cobh is famous for.
