Welcome to the 100th Anniversary Fethard Heritage Day Festival on Sunday August 16, 2026, a truly historic celebration of the traditions, stories and community spirit that have shaped our town for generations.
Reaching our centenary is an extraordinary milestone. For one hundred festivals, people have gathered in Fethard to honour our rich heritage, renew friendships and share the character of our remarkable medieval town with visitors from near and far. This year, we proudly continue that tradition while celebrating everyone who has helped the festival flourish across the decades.
Our anniversary programme promises a memorable family day filled with entertainment, culture, activities and opportunities to discover Fethard’s fascinating past with something for every age to enjoy. We hope the festival will bring our streets to life, create new memories and inspire future generations to value the heritage entrusted to them.
This celebration would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers, sponsors, local businesses, organisations, performers and supporters. Their generosity, enthusiasm and hard work reflect the wonderful community spirit at the heart of Fethard. We offer each of them our sincere thanks.
Whether you are a lifelong resident, a returning friend or visiting for the first time, we warmly invite you to join us for this landmark occasion. Together, let us honour those who came before us, celebrate the community we share today and ensure that the proud tradition of the Fethard Heritage Festival continues for many years to come, into the future with pride and joy.
