The story

Fleadh Nua Ennis in Ennis

Fleadh Nua, organised by Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, runs each May in Ennis, County Clare, showcasing traditional Irish music, song and dance through concerts, competitions, workshops and pub and street sessions, distinct from the organisation's larger competitive All-Ireland Fleadh. Traditional Irish music, song and dance fill Ennis, County Clare, each May through concerts, competitions, workshops and open street and pub sessions organised by Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann.

Fleadh Nua runs each May in Ennis, County Clare, organised by Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, the national organisation dedicated to preserving and promoting Irish traditional music, song and dance, and it functions as a major national showcase for that tradition distinct from the organisation's separate, larger All-Ireland Fleadh competition held later in the year.
