Celebrating a rich musical heritage
The festival is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 9 and Saturday, October 10, 2026, with organisers aiming to build on the event’s growing reputation as a vibrant showcase of local talent, heritage and live performance.
Central to the brief is the expectation that the festival will utilise the Strule Arts Centre, alongside venues across Omagh town centre, creating a dynamic, multi‑location cultural experience that brings music into the heart of the community.
Omagh’s musical identity provides a strong foundation for the festival’s continued growth. The town has a deep‑rooted tradition stretching back to the Showband era of the 1960s, which is still celebrated through heritage trails and exhibitions based at the Strule Arts Centre.
Previous festivals have leaned into this rich legacy, combining live performances with historical showcases, walking tours and exhibitions that tell the story of Omagh’s contribution to Irish music.
