Festivals & Events

County Clare has always had a reputation for knowing how to have a good time, but it’s not until you’ve actually experienced one of the country’s top festivals that you realise how much the "BannerCounty" likes to party and have fun.

If you’re into soaking up the cool tunes of a music festival, sucking oysters by the dozen, or getting highbrow with all things cultural or theatrical, there’s always something on somewhere around the county throughout the year. Whether you’re a spectator sports fan or prefer to get involved, there are regular sporting events and clubs where you can indulge your passion and enjoy the very best of what Clare has to offer.
