Clonakilty International Guitar Festival 2026

17 Sep 2026 - 20 Sep 2026
Clonakilty, Ireland

The Clonakilty International Guitar Festival is a community-powered, not-for-profit, evergreen antidote to the news cycle. Its main stage is the bars, venues, premises and spaces of our weatherproof Irish town, and the fabled DeBarras Folk Club (and spacetime anomaly.) No corporate messaging, no quagmires and no pestilential PortaLoos are entered into – just life-enhancing music, made by humans, for humans, to enjoy with other humans – close enough to the artists to see their feet keep time and to spot the callouses on their thumbs.Music is part of a life well-lived. Welcome to Guitartown!.
