TradFest is an annual week-long Belfast festival. It celebrates our shared Irish and Ulster-Scots musical traditions. It is a celebration of culture and heritage. Each year there are seven days of concerts, sessions, ceilis, talks, workshops and free events.

TradFest was founded in 2006 in Dublin. Its objective was to make Dublin’s cultural quarter, Temple Bar, a beacon to attract the very best Traditional and Folk music and to support musicians and local business.
