The unmistakable energy of Céilí Picnic is set to return to Drogheda as it makes its highly
anticipated comeback for the Leinster Fleadh 2025. From Friday, July 11th to Sunday, July
13th, the town will once again come alive with rhythm, tradition, and the unforgettable spirit that
swept Drogheda during its historic hosting of the Fleadh Cheoil.
Rooted in the cultural pulse of that transformative time, Céilí Picnic aims to ignite the same magic,
bringing together local pride, Irish music, and vibrant community spirit under one dazzlingly lit
stretch tent in the heart of the town.
This July, visitors from near and far are invited to experience a weekend of powerful performances
and authentic Irish celebration. The event kicks off on Friday, July 11th with the dynamic fusion of
traditional and modern Irish sounds by Jiggy, alongside local talent The Cacks.
Saturday turns up the tempo with the legendary Kíla, whose high-octane sets have electrified stages
across the globe, sharing the spotlight with Drogheda’s own rising talents, including the genrebending
Dabilla.
On Sunday, the weekend comes to a close with a showcase of local acts, bringing the Fleadh spirit
full circle with heart, tradition, and community celebration.
“Bringing Céilí Picnic back to Drogheda feels like coming home. The energy and pride this town
felt during the Fleadh Cheoil was unforgettable, and we wanted to reignite that spark. This weekend
is all about celebrating who we are, through music, culture, and community. I’m proud to help
create a space where people can dance, connect, and experience the magic of Drogheda again.”
— Samantha McGrane, Event Organiser
