Castlerea Rose Festival

Castlerea Rose Festival 2025 | 26 July – 3 August
The Castlerea Rose Festival returns with a packed programme of free, family-friendly events running from Saturday 26th July to Sunday 3rd August. With live music, parades, creative workshops and outdoor adventures, it’s the perfect summer celebration for all ages.
Younger children can enjoy art and craft mornings, kids’ discos and treasure hunts, while older kids can dive into teen pool parties or join mindfulness yoga sessions. Across the week there’ll be family movie nights, live trad sessions, fitness activities, a Mardi Gras parade, and even quirky events like pony racing with a twist. Live performances by The Tumbling Paddies, Qween and The High Waymen will entertain the crowds as the town lights up with music, colour and community spirit.
From Parkruns and parades to pool parties and pony races, the Castlerea Rose Festival promises something fun for everyone. A true highlight of the summer calendar.
