Clare Island Folk Festival 2026

Clare Island Folk Festival returns from 4–6 September 2026 for another weekend of songs, stories and music on Clare Island.

Taking place across a handful of intimate island venues, the festival brings together folk and traditional music, concerts, sessions and special one-off performances throughout the weekend.

With small audiences and limited capacities, CIFF is all about experiencing great music up close — and the unexpected moments that happen when artists, islanders and festival-goers spend a weekend together.

Only 20 Festival Passes are available, giving guaranteed access to the Folk Revue and all four Saturday concerts.

Full artist announcements and programme details coming very soon.
