Local and international performers will be performing at venues throughout Dublin County and City. The group's Mike Hanrahan told RTÉ News, "Tradfest brought us back from our retirement and gives 'Stockton's Wing' a great stage to play on every year."

At the opening of the first day of the festival at Dublin Castle, he stated: "The audience is a joy - always full of dedicated music lovers." Music lovers can witness artists in action at more than 140 events throughout the capital over the course of the next four days, including performances by choirs, bands, and well-known solo artists.

This year, the festival is presenting events in Fingal, south county Dublin, as well as in their familiar locations across Dublin city centre, as part of its ongoing efforts to introduce Irish traditional music to more and more communities.

"This programme is bursting at the seams," Martin Harte, the director of the festival, stated.

"This year’s festival is celebrating a number of important milestones, including our new partnership with Ablefest, remembering legendary Dubliner Barney McKenna and toasting cultural icon and TradFest Patron Stephen Rea," he said.

The festival is excited about its new collaboration with Ablefest to help make it more accessible for everyone and provides a number of concerts for free.

Ablefest will honour and assist neurodiverse kids, adults, carers, and their families as part of this year's celebration.

At the National Stadium, there will be a two-day mini-festival with acoustic music, sensory activities, workshops for arts and crafts, and more.

In addition to offering a diverse array of musical experiences around Dublin city, Fingal, and Temple Bar, TradFest will make its debut in south county Dublin, with a selection of performances at locations like as the Áras Chrónáin Irish Cultural Centre and St. Maelruain's Church in Tallaght.
