The Tullamore Irish Festival features a Parade, Irish dancers, entertainers and musicians, an Irish hurdle race and a whole heap more Irish fun. A GREAT family event for all ages.
The festival was established in 2004 to celebrate Tullamore's strong Irish links, having been settled by Irish families going back to the 1900s.
Driving the surrounding countryside you might believe you have been transported to Ireland itself when you see the names of the properties - Kilmarnock, Kinvara, Cadungle, Fermoy or Carlyle to name a few.
