Tickets are on sale online now via the Tickets button in the top right hand corner of our website or at our Box Office in the Showgrounds Shopping Centre from 11am to 4pm Monday to Saturday.
Don’t forget to follow us on social media for information on our many events, artist videos, updates on our community development projects and other ways to be involved in the lead up to the festival (3rd to 12th July).
I would also just like to take a moment to express our sincere thanks to all our funders, sponsors and partners – the festival couldn’t happen without you. Many thanks also to our wonderful festival team, Board of Directors and volunteers – people make a festival and you certainly make the Clonmel Junction Arts Festival the special and vibrant festival that it is.
We look forward to celebrating our 2026 festival together and hope to see you at many more events during the festival from 3rd to 12th July.
