Traditional Irish music, song, dance and culture as Co Tyrone Fleadh returns to Ballygawley
Preparations are underway for the Co Tyrone Fleadh which will take place in Ballygawley next month.
Organised by Clogher Valley Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann (CCÉ) in partnership with Comhaltas Thír Eoghain and will also mark the group’s fiftieth anniversary.
It has been ten years since the Tyrone Fleadh was last hosted in Ballygawley, and local people are looking forward to the return of traditional Irish music, song, dance and culture between June 18-21.
The Fleadh will feature high-standard competitions in music, singing and dancing, with successful performers qualifying for higher-level events including the Ulster Fleadh and the All-Ireland Fleadh.
Alongside the competitions, the festival will include céilís, parades and lively street sessions in what promises to be a vibrant, community-focused celebration of Irish culture.
The Tyrone Fleadh also serves as an important platform for showcasing and preserving local heritage and tradition.
The official launch will take place at Tailor’s House, Ballygawley, on May 21 at 7.30pm.
