The Comeraghs Wild Festival is back for yet another year with an action-packed schedule from July 6 to 9 in the breath-taking terrain which stretches from the Copper Coast into the Comeragh Mountains and breath-taking Nire Valley. New events this year include a dawn hike in the mountains, comedy, a pilates beach retreat, a festive brunch and foraging followed by forest bathing! Festival revellers will also enjoy the first ever ‘Comeragh to the Coast Chorus’ which sees a local choir perform live in Durrow Tunnel on the Waterford Greenway. The breath-taking mountainous region and surrounding coastal hinterland will be a hive of music, theatre, outdoor activity and family fun across the four days as the long-awaited Comeraghs Wild Festival gets underway for yet its 9th year. Highlights of this year’s four day programme also include an unmissable open air concert at Crotty’s Lake, live theatre, a local film, live music sessions and set dancing deep in the Comeragh Mountains. Thrill-seekers will revel in surfing sessions and mountain biking. Enjoy yoga in the woods, wellness events, woodland crafts for children, tours of stunning Curraghmore House & Gardens and so much more. The authentic, community-focused festival which is funded and supported by Waterford City & County Council closes this year with a spectacular 50th Anniversary celebration with Gina & the Champions. The band are back in Waterford where Gina performed for the first time for the nostalgic celebration at the newly-refurbished Dungarvan Town Hall which now includes tiered seating. The closing event will also include special tributes to the late Dale Haze, a popular and proud local talent. Festival Chair, Mary Flynn, said it will be hard to top last year’s Comeraghs Wild which drew record crowds to the region. “We’ve added new events to broaden the festival’s appeal and there is a strong emphasis this year on celebrating and appreciating the flora and fauna of the Comeraghs and helping preserve it for future generations. “Our concert at Crotty’s Lake will this year feature Alan Power & The Aftershocks; Ceol and The Backyard band. It’s a unique setting and Mary Coughlan was totally blown away when she performed there last year. Teas and coffees will be served and those attending are invited to bring along a picnic and make a night of it.
