Drogheda Comhaltas are delighted to announce that the Leinster Fleadh, Fleadh Cheoil Laighean 2025 will take place in Drogheda town from 11th-13th July Friday to Sunday inclusive.
The Leinster Fleadh takes place annually, with competitors qualifying by competing in their county fleadhanna (of which there are twelve throughout the province). However, its far more than a music competition, the fleadh also serves as a celebration of traditional Irish culture and heritage.
With sessions taking place in local pubs (see Session Trail poster for details) and an array of fantastic musicians and bands to enjoy on the GigRig, Drogheda looks forward to welcoming you!
