Iconic Tipperary location hosts two successful festival events

Against the iconic backdrop of the Devil’s Bit Mountain, this past weekend saw the successful hosting of two vibrant community events: the first-ever Devil’s Bit Wellness Fest on Saturday, July 26, followed by the third annual Devil’s Bit Music Festival on Sunday, July 27.

Saturday’s Wellness Fest brought together over 100 attendees for a nourishing day of yoga, sound baths, art expression, inspiring talks, a nourishing lunch and more – all focused on reconnecting mind, body and spirit in nature.

Festival organiser Claire Williams said, “We were blown away by the support for our first Wellness Day. It was beautiful to see people relax, reflect and enjoy such a meaningful experience in the outdoors together.”

Sunday’s Music Festival carried the energy forward with an amazing crowd enjoying performances by crowd-favourites Acquiesce, Dan Budd as Robbie Williams, and a host of emerging and local acts.

From sunshine to light rain and back again, festivalgoers danced, sang and cheered their way through a memorable celebration of music, food and community.

Co-organiser Tom Kenneally noted, “We set out to create more than just a weekend of entertainment — we wanted to build something that celebrates our local talent, brings the community together, and leaves a lasting impact.

"From the musicians to the volunteers, the food vendors to our neighbours, it’s a team effort that shows the strength of our local spirit.

"There’s something really powerful about seeing people come together — whether it’s for music, mindfulness, or just a moment to connect — and we’re proud to be creating a space where that can happen."

The festival also proudly featured local food vendors, supported local suppliers and service providers.

A huge thank you is extended from the organisers to the sponsors, volunteers, facilitators, artists, vendors and attendees who helped make the weekend so special.
