Can you help Westport Folk & Bluegrass Festival?

Hi All,

We want to extend a massive thank you to each and every one of you who came and supported the festival last weekend. It’s safe to say that this festival exceeded not only our own expectations, but yours too – we received endless amazing feedback on every aspect of the festival weekend and we are so excited for next year already!

However, this festival would not be made possible without the generous donation of time from our voluntary committee. As the festival is a non-for-profit organization and ran on an entirely voluntary basis, each year we rely on funding and grants from various institutions, partners, and sponsorships to ensure the festival’s continuation year on year.

As we continually aspire to raise the quality of music and live entertainment each year, while maintaining the original format and ticket prices, we cannot solely rely on the funding we receive from various institutions, partners, and sponsorships anymore.

As friends and followers of the festival, we truly appreciate your time, effort, and attendance at each event during the festival weekend – without your support, we would not be able to produce such a high quality yet entertaining and inclusive schedule of events.

However, to continue producing a festival at the caliber/level/standard we achieved last weekend, we are now look to our community of followers and friends of the festival to help us in raising. We have proven to be a large contributor to the local economy and have offered platforms to local, national and international acts.

We would really appreciate anything you can afford to donate, so we can continue to showcase the best of folk, bluegrass and old-time music, and of course, so we can welcome you all back to our beautiful little town on the west coast of Ireland!

We truly appreciate all of your support,

Uri and Team
