Fethard Festival Heritage Day
About Fethard Festival Heritage Day
Fethard Heritage Day Festival takes place on Sunday, August 24, immediately adjacent to Fethard’s medieval Town Wall where people and townsfolk have congregated for eight-hundred years or more.
The site is enhanced by the historic backdrop of the medieval Town Wall and Holy Trinity Church, both creating a very pleasant historic setting.
All the usual Festival Fare, food and craft stalls, live music and family entertainment will be set up on site at the Town Wall at Watergate (Eircode E91 N6V2) from 2pm to 5pm, and admission is free.
The spacious site is fully wheelchair friendly and has numerous easy-access points without any traffic which makes it extremely safe for all ages and families.
One of the main features of any Festival in Fethard continues to be the annual Fancy Dress Parade which will commence from Fethard Ballroom at 2pm and led up Main Street by the award-winning Banna Chluain Meala and Majorettes, to the festival site.
This unique, and nowadays somewhat rare fancy dress parade is wholly inclusive of children, families, individuals and groups, offering various prizes for best entries.
This annual Heritage Day Festival is community organised by volunteers and Fethard & Killusty Community Council, made possible with the generous support from local businesses, local organisations, Tipperary County Council, The Heritage Council, An Garda Síochána, and Tipperary Civil Defence.
