The 9th Festival of Skerries Traditional Music
Weekend takes place from the 14th to 16th May.
The seaside town of Skerries, located in the Fingal
area of Dublin is the perfect location for this annual
Festival, as all events are situated within walking
distance of each other and participants have the
opportunity to immerse themselves in the music,
song and dance taking place during the weekend.Many of Ireland's leading traditional artistes will both teach and perform to keep Skerries firmly on the traditional venue map. Recitals, concerts and workshops will take place at several venues in the town. Workshops this year will incorporate piano accompaniment for the first time while singing & banjo classes are now a permanent feature of the workshop choices. Our schools outreach program for Primary Schools continues this year – this is an interactive event with demonstration & discussion. Young and old are invited to actively participate or just relax and enjoy an evening 'session'. During the last decade the continued sponsorship and support received from Fingal County Council Community Culture and Sports Division, The Arts Council and our Local Businesses has allowed the Festival continue to promote the traditions in the Fingal Region. | |||||||||||||||||||
