Hi Susan,
It's wonderful to hear that you are planning a trip to Ireland next year. We have lots of great festivals on the island and there's something for every taste.
I would recommend that you check out this
What's On page for a breakdown of the annual festivals that take place on the island of Ireland.
Is there a specific arts and music festival that you would like to know more about? If so, I would be happy to help provide you with more information.
Regards,
Eoin
