Kilworth Festival committee, Kilworth GAA and Kilworth Ladies Football & Camogie Club are teaming up to raise funds for a number of local projects (new dressingrooms, GAA club house, new community gym and ongoing refurbishment of Village Arts Centre). This year’s festival, which has a wonderful track record of success, runs from Monday, 5th August to Sunday, 11th August and is highly anticipated.

The 2024 festival also sees the return of a marquee, one-time a mainstay of the Kilworth festival around the 1980s, which will be the setting for several high profile events. Old favourites such as the ever popular, Fair In The Square, will take place as normal.
