Galway, held across a long September weekend. It&#8217;s stayed small and runs without tickets, wristbands, or a main stage. Events spread across the village&#8217;s four pubs: Oliver&#8217;s Seafood Bar, Newman&#8217;s, Joyce&#8217;s, and The Pier Bar. A country market sets up alongside, with local food and craft stalls. Admission is free, with optional donations at the door.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleggan has attracted writers and artists for decades. Poet Richard Murphy and novelist John McGahern both lived here, and actress Jeananne Crowley has called the village home for years. The festival doesn&#8217;t trade on any of that, but it does explain why an event here runs on music and storytelling rather than inflatable slides.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2b5564 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c2b5564\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c90e006 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c90e006\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b46cc06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b46cc06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Live Music and Traditional Dance in Cleggan\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-226148e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"226148e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional Irish music and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sean-n\u00f3s<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dancing run across all four pubs throughout the weekend. These aren&#8217;t sessions put on for the festival.

Newman&#8217;s and Joyce&#8217;s are the ones to head to if you actually want to hear the music without a three-deep crowd between you and the musicians. Our call: hit Oliver&#8217;s on Friday evening before it fills up, then work your way across the other three as the weekend develops. If you leave Newman&#8217;s until Sunday, you may find it too busy to get a seat.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The programme also includes contemporary gigs and album launches.

The menu is built around what&#8217;s come off the boats: fresh fish, local shellfish, and Cleggan oysters when available. The restaurant side is seasonal, but September falls within its operating window. Book ahead for dinner; the festival fills the village and Oliver&#8217;s will feel it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The country market runs in the village over the weekend with food stalls and artisan crafts from around Connemara.

Previous editions have included wool spinning workshops and storytelling sessions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wool and weaving have been part of Connemara life long before tourism took an interest in them. The workshops reflect that; they&#8217;re not quick sessions, and people tend to end up in them longer than they planned. Saturday daytime is typically the fullest period for the family programme. Specific 2026 listings hadn&#8217;t been confirmed at time of writing; the festival Facebook page will have the details closer to September.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88868e0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"88868e0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfc6248 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dfc6248\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Walks and Beaches on the Aughrus Peninsula\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5624db0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5624db0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleggan Head is the walk most people skip.

Sellerna Beach and Rossadilisk Strand are better for it, quieter, and a short detour along the peninsula road. Omey Strand, reached from Claddaghduff on foot at low tide, is a tidal crossing to an island across open sand. Check tide tables before going.

All events are free. Parking in the village fills quickly over festival weekend, and the road in from the N59 doesn&#8217;t give you much to fall back on. From Clifden by car, Cleggan is around 11km, roughly 15 minutes, though the peninsula roads do what peninsula roads do.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worth knowing: in 2025, the festival ran a dedicated bus service on Friday and Saturday nights, departing Letterfrack at 8pm, picking up in Clifden and Claddaghduff, and returning from Cleggan at 1am, all for \u20ac5 each way. If that runs again in 2026, it&#8217;s the obvious way to do the late nights without worrying about the drive back. Keep an eye on the festival Facebook page for confirmation as September gets closer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accommodation in and around Cleggan books out well before September. Festival weekend goes earlier than you&#8217;d expect. Staying in the village rather than commuting from Clifden makes a real difference: you can catch the late music, sleep locally, and be on the pier for the morning ferry to Inishbofin if the mood takes you.
