Feis Ceoil

The Feis Ceoil is a classical music festival and competition held in Dublin, Ireland, since its founding in 1897 amid the Gaelic revival movement. It now runs over 180 vocal and instrumental competitions open to all ages from seven upward, centred around a major summer gathering each June. A long-standing institution of Irish musical life, it has only rarely been cancelled, notably during the 2001 foot-and-mouth crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.
