Welcome from Cathaoirleach Comhairle Chontae Lú & Mayor of Borough District of Drogheda

We are delighted to once again welcome to Drogheda and County Louth, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. The Fleadh in 2018 was embraced by the people of Drogheda who gave a Cead Mile Fáilte to the many hundreds and thousands of visitors who travelled to the wee county from all corners of the country and indeed many parts of the world. We are all looking forward once again to celebrating Irish music and culture with an expected 8000 musicians at competitions and impromptu sessions at local venues and on our streets. Preparations are already under way with many of our local establishments once again making great efforts to add to the presentation of our town and surrounding area.

Like in 2018 the Fleadh in 2019 is for everyone young and old and this year’s programme is sure to provide entertainment and delight whether it’s a concert in the dome or a performance in one of the many magnificent buildings in Drogheda or indeed attending what is core to the Fleadh the competitions many of which again are been hosted by our local schools.
