Fleadh Nua

Fleadh Nua (Irish pronunciation: [fʲlʲaː nuə], meaning "New festival") is a festival of Irish culture which has been held annually during May in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland since 1974.[1][2] It was started in Dublin in 1970.[1][3] The Fleadh's purpose is to promote Irish traditional music and culture. Activities include music concerts, céilithe (dances), dance workshops and street entertainment.[1]

The Fleadh Nua is organised by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.[3][4] The Fleadh Nua has expanded to be a nine-day event with events every day for all including Ciorcal Comhrá, Café music sessions, Lunchtime concerts, Foinn Seisiún and evening sessions.[5]
