Daily Irish Music sessions

Irish music sessions play an important role in traditional Irish music culture and are the heartbeat of the festival. They serve as social meeting point for musicians and fans alike. We welcome musicians playing traditional instruments who know how to play traditional Irish music with others respectively.

Arrive early for best seating and to be closer to hear the musicians. Enjoy!
