Féile Chroithlí 2026 is taking place on Easter weekend.
Organised by Coiste Fobartha Chroithlí, the festival will run from Friday, April 3, to Monday, April 6. The festival will be officially opened by Mary Coyle in association with Donegal Cancer flights services, World Champion Performers Donegal Dancers and a local marching band recital. On the first night, Rhythm & Sticks will perform live at the marquee, supported by Annagry’s Danny O’Donnell.
The next day, there will be an Easter Craft Fair and a little Miss Croithlí Doll event. Then, One for the Road will headline, supported by Roxy & The Corner Boys, 2 Men 1 Pint and Howlin Hallions.
On Easter Sunday, Claudia Buckley, Conor O’Donnell and Ryan Turner Band will entertain by day and the Whistlin Donkeys will perform supported by Danny O’Donnell and Darren Boot that night.
On Easter Monday, there will be a vintage and classic car show in memory of the Late Stephen Ann O’Donnell. There will also be a family fun day packed with events such as a colour run, tug of war, a magic show and a variety show.
“This year promises to be bigger and better – with a larger marquee, an incredible line-up, and plenty of exciting extras for all ages to enjoy,” Coiste Fobartha Chroithlí posted. “Looking back at last year’s festival, after many years away, we were so proud to bring Féile Chroithlí back to the heart of our community. The atmosphere, the music, the laughter, and the support from near and far made it a truly special weekend
“A huge thank you again to everyone who attended, volunteered, performed, sponsored, and helped in any way. Your support made it the success it was.”
