Art, Music & Local Magic — Clonmel Junction Arts Festival 2025
If you’re visiting Clonmel this summer — or lucky enough to live here — one event you won’t want to miss is the Clonmel Junction Arts Festival. Running from 4th–13th July 2025, this 10-day celebration brings a buzz to the town that you can feel in the streets, the theatres, the galleries, and even the cafés (yes, ours too!).
What It’s All About
Founded in 2001, Clonmel Junction has grown into one of the South East’s most exciting arts festivals, blending national and international artists with the very best of local talent. It’s a showcase of creativity, connection, and community — right in the heart of Tipperary.
You’ll find theatre, live music, visual art, dance, storytelling, street performances, and loads of family-friendly events and workshops throughout the town.
Something for Everyone
What makes this festival special is how it brings together all corners of the arts — and all ages too. One minute you might catch an award-winning theatre piece in a converted church, the next you're watching a street performer wow a crowd outside the Town Hall.
It’s a brilliant way to experience Clonmel in full colour — creative, welcoming, and full of energy.
