All proceeds from the Folly Festival are used by the organisers Cullohill Community Council for village renewal projects along with donations to local schools, clubs and societies.
Music-wise there is a stellar lineup of headliners Darren Kiely and The Scratch alongside other firm favourites including Roísín O, Dea Matrona, Oscar Blue, Jessica Doolan, Saibh Skelly, Paddy Keyes, The Dooley Brothers, The Garda Band, Cullohill Comhaltas and recently announced Tullamore’s Best Foot Forward. The event MC is Doireann Ní Ghlacáin.
