After a very successful inaugural event in 2022 the South Galway Bay Music Festival returns for its second year!  A three night Music Festival, music to suit all ages from July, 28th to 30^th, hosted by Ballinderreen GAA Club.

In the 1950s and 60s, the village of Ballinderreen in Co Galway was a firm fixture on touring maps for the showbands who travelled the length and breadth of the country. The South Galway Bay Music Festival revived that spirit.

Organiser Mattie Larkin said “Ballinderreen GAA club hosted the inaugural South Galway Bay Music Festival in July 2022. A leap into the unknown and huge undertaking. However thanks to an army of volunteers of all ages the event ran seamlessly. The music was brilliant and the craic was mighty, everyone who attended had an absolute blast and told us in no uncertain terms that we had to go again. We’ve taken that advice and will use all the knowledge and experience gained to make the south Galway bay music Festival bigger and better for 2023”

With outdoor and covered wooden dancefloors and bars, we have all weather conditions taken into account, to ensure you have a fantastic weekend listening to some of the country’s best and most renowned bands and singers.

Some familiar faces from last year and some new exciting acts as well. It promises to be another fantastic weekend by the shores of Galway Bay. Headline acts for 2023 include The Tumbling Paddies, Mike Denver, Gerry Guthrie, Derek Ryan, Johnny Brady, Sum Craic, Sinéad Black and Olivia Douglas, plus local talent and Ballinderreen native, Michael (Mikey) Burke, winner of the All Ireland Senior Scór 2019 title for Solo Singing.

“We are thrilled to welcome attendees from near and far to immerse themselves in the infectious energy of the festival, dance on the 4,200 square foot wooden dancefloor, and enjoy a full bar service. The Family Fun Day on Sunday ensures there is entertainment for all ages. With music playing until 11 pm each night, it’s going to be an incredible experience not to be missed.”
