Some of the world’s greatest guitarists will descend on a small seaside town in the southwest of Ireland.

The Clonakilty International Guitar Festival is a celebration of the guitar. It is not starch collared or stuffy nosed, from virtuosos to noodlers, all are welcomed and exalted!

The Festival is run by a not for profit voluntary organisation of music lovers and we are very proud of the rich, relaxed, educational, exciting & artistic environment our festival creates in our beautiful seaside town.
90% of the events are free over the majority of the weekend with only 4 shows Ticketed.

we hope you will join us…..
