The Fleadh Cheoil 2022 took place from July 31 to August 7 in Mullingar. Dubbed “The Homecoming”, it was hosted by the Mullingar Comhaltas Branch and saw the town taken over with Irish music, language song and dance. 

The event is the largest of its kind, and attracts around 500,000 visitors to the host town every year.

Here are some of the highlights of the fantastic occasion.
