Mullingar plays host to Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2023 for the second year this August.
Last year marked the "Homecoming" of the Fleadh Cheoil after nearly 60 years and attracted over 500,000 visitors across the festival.
From competing singers, musicians and dancers to street performers and the big names headlining the programme of concerts, there was truly something for everyone.
At the official launch of Fleadh 2023, Joe Connaire Cathaoirleach of the Mullingar Fleadh Executive Committee said "We've left no stone unturned to make this year's event even bigger and better for everybody. We can't wait until the 6th to 14th August."
RTÉ and TG4 are proud to support Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann as official media partners.
