Fleadh Cheoil Belfast 2026

Belfast will host the Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the world’s biggest celebration of Irish music and culture, from Sunday 2 August 2026 to Sunday 9 August 2026. Qualifying competitors from all over the world will showcase the very best of traditional music, song, dance and language in All-Ireland competitions.

The Federation has been meeting with the various agencies involved with delivering this major event and has produced a summary document to help hoteliers to prepare. You can find this available to download below along with PDFs of presentations made by Tourism NI, Visit Belfast and Belfast City Council.

As more assets become available we will post updateds here and signpost you to the best sources for you and your guests.
