Céilí Picnic Returns to Drogheda for the Leinster Fleadh.

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

Set against the buzz of Duke Street in the heart of the town, the festival site transforms into a

vibrant hub of sound and celebration. With bars flowing, craft cocktails shaking, and the muchloved

Silent Disco lighting up the night, every corner invites you to soak in the spirit of Céilí

Picnic, all included with your early bird ticket.

Tickets available now at www.ceilipicnic.ie/tickets

gatherings.

Whether you’re a longtime lover of trad, a fan of Irish fusion, or simply someone looking to soak up

the summer vibes, Céilí Picnic 2025 promises an unforgettable weekend. So dust off your dancing

shoes, because this July, Drogheda dances once again.
