Aurfest is Louth’s newest festival, taking place at Bellurgan Park, Co. Louth (also home to Fuinneamh) on July 4th and 5th.

Aurfest bills itself as a “small but mighty boutique festival we’re building with love and purpose.”

Aurfest is all about Irish talent, presented over multiple stages to a 1000 capacity festival.

Music wise that means the likes of Ispíní na hEireann, Duke Special, Jinx Lennon, Negro Impacto, Odhran Murphy, The Gakk, Elephant, Clara Byrne and more.

Comedy comes from local Emma Doran along with John Colleary, Sophia Wren, Luke McGibbon and more with DJs Kirkface Killa and Caravan Mambo.

Tickets

Day tickets from €55 with weekend camping from €110.
