Wexford has been chosen to host the 2024 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann which takes place from 4 to 11 August.
The world's largest celebration of Irish traditional music, language, songs and dance, it will be the first time the event will be held in the county for 24 years.
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Ard Comhairle made the announcement after applications were received on behalf of Wexford and Belfast.
Chairperson of Craobh Loch Garman Comhaltas Barbara Walsh said that there was great excitement that the event will be returning to Co Wexford.
"We are thrilled, honoured and humbled by the successful vote we have received from the Ard Comhairle of Comhaltas, both for our town and in the members of our voluntary bid committee who have put in a huge amount of work to help us achieve this result".
CEO of Wexford County Council Tom Enright said that hosting the event will mean €50m for the local economy on an annual basis.
This year's Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann will be held in Mullingar, Co Westmeath.
