The story

Wexford Spiegeltent Festival in Wexford

A mid-to-late October multi-genre festival in Wexford town, founded in 2012, staging concerts and comedy shows entirely inside The Fortuna, an antique Belgian-built spiegeltent reportedly the largest of its kind still in operation, set up annually on the town quay, with concerts spanning contemporary music, eighties nostalgia acts, and traditional Irish performers alongside comedy shows each October.

The entire festival unfolds inside a single structure, an antique Belgian-built spiegeltent nicknamed The Fortuna, reportedly the largest such tent still in operation anywhere in the world, set up each October on Wexford town's quay by festival producers Lantern.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Fortuna is a genuine, antique, early-twentieth-century Belgian-built spiegeltent, a specific historic traveling entertainment structure with its own distinctive mirrored, wood, and velvet-lined acoustic character, reportedly the largest such tent still in operation worldwide

02

The mystery stays covered

Running every show, both music and comedy, inside this single structure rather than across multiple venues is an unusual single-site format for a festival of its scale

03

The city starts moving

Its single-venue format inside one antique structure gives every act the same distinctive mirrored, wood, and velvet-lined atmosphere rather than the more typical multi-venue arrangement

Traditions & symbols

What moves first

Living ritual

Staging the entire festival inside the same historic spiegeltent structure each year is the event's defining and unchanged format
