Ferthard Heritage Day Festival will be a special celebration

THERE will be a special celebration in Fethard this Sunday as the Fethard Heritage Day Festival marks its 100th anniversary .

There will be a truly historic celebration of the traditions, stories and community spirit that have shaped the town of Fethard for generations. Reaching our centenary is an extraordinary milestone.

For one hundred festivals, people have gathered in Fethard to honour our rich heritage, renew friendships and share the character of our remarkable medieval town with visitors from near and far.

This year, the organisers proudly continue that tradition while celebrating everyone who has helped the fes tival flourish across the decades. The anniversary programme promises a memorable family day filled with entertainment, culture, activities and opportunities to discover Fethard’s fascinating past with something for every age to enjoy.

The organisers hope the festival will bring the streets to life, create new memories and inspire future generations to value the heritage entrusted to them. This celebration would not be possible without the dedication of volunteers, sponsors, local businesses, organisations, performers and supporters.

Their generosity, enthusiasm and hard work reflect the wonderful community spirit at the heart of Fethard. The organisers offer each of them sincere thanks.

“Whether you are a lifelong resident, a returning friend or visiting for the first time, we warmly invite you to join us for this landmark occasion. Together, let us honour those who came before us, celebrate the community we share today and ensure that the proud tradition of the Fethard Heritage Festival continues for many years to come, into the future with pride and joy,” said a spokesperson for the organising group.
