Arklow Music Festival is one of Ireland’s best known competitive music festivals (or feiseanna).
For more than 50 years it has provided a platform for individual and group performers of all ages in music, speech and drama, composition and creative writing. We have a long tradition of engaging the services of distinguished adjudicators and while prizes are awarded all are winners by taking part.
