Mohill to take centre stage at Connacht Fleadh 2026
Mohill ready to come alive with music, céilís and celebration
The town of Mohill is preparing to burst into life this summer as it hosts the highly anticipated Connacht Fleadh 2026 from June 28 to July 5.
Traditional music lovers from across the province — and beyond — are expected to descend on the Leitrim town for a week-long celebration of Irish culture, music, dance and community spirit.
Hosted by Leitrim Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, the Connacht Fleadh promises packed streets, lively pub sessions, competitions, céilís and unforgettable performances as Mohill becomes the beating heart of traditional Irish music.
Excitement is already building locally, with businesses, musicians and residents preparing to welcome hundreds of visitors for what is expected to be one of the biggest cultural events in the county this year.
The festival will showcase the very best of Connacht talent while also shining a spotlight on Leitrim’s rich musical heritage and warm community spirit.
Organisers say the Fleadh will offer something for everyone — from seasoned trad fans to families looking to soak up the atmosphere of a vibrant Irish festival.
With music expected to spill from pubs, halls and street corners throughout the week, Mohill is set to become a hub of energy, culture and celebration this summer.
The Fleadh will be officially launched by well-known Leitrim musician, John Lee with a special concert celebrating Leitrim musician, Noel Sweeney in Lough Rynn Hotel on Friday 22nd May from 7pm in the Ballroom. Following this, a very special concert will celebrate another great Leitrim musician, Noel Sweeney, his lifetime playing music and his significant contribution to the musical tradition of the Leitrim and Longford areas.
