Celebrating food, heritage & nature through the Prism of the arts
Welcome to the home of Clonmel Applefest, our annual festival that celebrates the food, heritage and the natural environment of Clonmel and its environs through the prism of the Arts.
In 2025, the festival took place from Thursday 25th to the 28th September during which time we collaborated with many local and national artists, crafters, food producers, performers and communities to celebrate the rich cultural, industrial and natural history of Clonmel and promote it as a valued place to live and visit for locals and visitors.
In 2026, we are introducing the theme of CARE and we will center most of our events and projects around that theme.
The festival will take place from the 24th to the 27th September.
We have a couple of wonderful projects lined up for 2025 including The Families of Clonmel writing project. Cruinniù na n-Óg day took place again on Saturday 7th June at Kickham Plaza with a Junior and senior youth strand from 12 to 8pm. Our brochure launch took place on the 6th September with live music, welcoming the Autumn and our festival's feast of celebratory events around food, heritage and harvest. 2025 promises to be another exciting edition with the theme of #thetiesthatbind as our central theme. Browse the website to discover our festival events and plan your weekend! Stay up-to-date by following us on Instagram and Facebook and put those dates of the 25th to 28th September in your diary! Looking forward to seeing you there!
