Welcome to Fleadh Cheoil 2009

The Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann took place this year from the 16th August to the 23rd of August 2009 in Tullamore, County Offaly.

Tullamore hosted the largest festival of music, song and dance, with over 200,000 people gathering from all over the world for Ireland's largest cultural celebration. The 59th Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann was the largest ever as it returned to Tullamore for the third year in a row. Unrivalled visitor numbers and electric family atmosphere on the streets and in the pubs, made Fleadh 2009 a week to remember. The next question is which town is brave enough to take on the gauntlet, with Tullamore dawning a new era in the festival's long history.
