The Dunmore East Bluegrass Festival is set to return to the picturesque fishing village from August 27th to 30th, with four days of free live music planned across a range of venues.

Now in its 31st year, the festival has become one of Ireland’s longest-running bluegrass events, attracting visitors from across the country and overseas to Co. Waterford each summer.

This year’s programme will once again feature a mix of Bluegrass, Roots, Americana, Folk and Country music, with Irish and international performers taking to stages throughout the village.

Festival organisers say the event has built a reputation not only for its music, but also for its welcoming community atmosphere, with traditional sessions and performances taking place across Dunmore East over the four-day festival.

The annual event is expected to draw large crowds to the coastal village, providing a boost for local businesses during the busy summer season.

The full festival line-up and programme are available on the Dunmore East Bluegrass Festival website and social media channels.
