Welcome To The Official Carrickmacross Festival from Carrickmacross Chairman And Festival Committee
This year's Festival will be our 21st and, after the huge success of last year’s event, which was our first since the start of the Covid Pandemic, we have a lot to live up to in 2023!
As always, we would like to invite you to come and enjoy this free, for-all-ages, event. Each year, the June Bank Holiday, is a special occasion for the people of Carrickmacross and indeed the committee, both past and present, as there is always something for all tastes – everyone is catered for.
A hard-working group of local volunteers have offered their time and efforts, along with the support of Monaghan County Council and businesses in the area, into making this one of Ireland's most popular family festivals.
An event like this is a huge task and, as always, the work behind the scenes is never underestimated by the Committee or indeed, the people of Carrickmacross. All volunteers are working hard to make this year’s festival even bigger and better than before for everyone who comes to visit – so don’t miss it!
We would like to welcome you to join us in celebrating our event where you and your family will experience a magical weekend filled with street entertainers, arts and crafts, kids entertainment, live music over four days, on two stages, and much much more.
We have a selection of street vendors who come to the town each year and, this year, we are introducing a pre-booking form for anyone wishing to sell their wares during our event. Insurance details and indemnity is required as well as a pre-paid deposit.
Let me welcome you to the official website of the Carrickmacross Festival 2023. You can also contact us to let us know what you would like to see at this year’s event or let us know if you would like to get involved – you can join the organising committee or just volunteer some of your time over the weekend itself; we’re always open to new members, volunteers etc
So why not join me and the committee in June 2023 and experience one of the most enjoyable weekends of the summer and share in the mystical, fun and laughter of the Carrickmacross Street Festival 2023.
Hope to see you here!
David Maggs (Chairperson – Carrickmacross Festival Committee)
