The Gathering

The Gathering is an annual event that takes place in Ireland on the August Bank Holiday weekend. It is a massive outdoor festival that celebrates Irish music, dance, culture, and history. The event usually lasts for three days and is attended by more than 20,000 people each year.

What to Expect

During The Gathering, there are music and dance performances, workshops, talks, and reenactments. There are also plenty of food and craft stalls, as well as bars and cafes. Visitors can expect to see traditional Irish dress, hear the sound of uilleann pipes and fiddles, taste Irish cuisine, and learn about the history and culture of Ireland. The Gathering is a great way to experience Irish culture and to celebrate the country's rich heritage.
