In August, enjoy the best of the arts on the Enniscorthy Arts Trail, which transforms vacant buildings into gallery spaces, workshop hubs and cultural centres during the Bank Holiday weekend. In between the tours and visits, check out the Enniscorthy Rockin’ Food Festival, held on the same weekend. 

With something for everyone in the family, this popular festival combines free outdoor Rockabilly-themed gigs, food and craft marquees and an artisan food market.
