The Races of Castlebar Festival takes to the main stage on the Mall on the 4th and 5th of May for a great selection of music for young and old.

Fresh from last years festival, The Kilkennys are returning to headline the event wrapping up a great weekend of music on the Sunday.

We also have some more of last years artists joining us including Pete & Dean, Graham Monaghan and Tómas Langan & Friends who all played a huge part in the success of 2023’s festival.

New for this year are Blu & The Black Jacks and Julianne Hennelly who between them play a great mix of music and styles. Be sure to head down to the Mall in Castlebar this Bank Holiday weekend to see for yourself.

This is a completely Free Event and on the day there is also a Family Fun Day where there will be Amusements, Face Painting, a Petting Farm, Food Trucks and more. Also making an appearance in this years festival is Murray’s Funfair, so there will be no shortage of entertainment for the young ones!
