Fáilte chuig Féile Traidphicnic! 3-5 Iúil/July 2015
An Spidéal, Conamara.
Traidphicnic is an open-air, trad music festival, based in and around the seaside village of An Spidéal; the majority of events take place on an outdoor stage in the surrounds of An Ceardlann, Spiddal Craft Village. Looking out over Galway Bay and the Wild Atlantic Way, Traidphicnic is just a 20 minute drive west of Galway city.
Now in its fourth year, Traidphicnic includes music gigs, crafts demonstrations, interactive art area, camera obscura, sean-nós dance class, informal Irish language classes, sea-shore walks and talks. For those more serious about their Trad music, the festival includes opportunities to participate in music/dance workshops with some of the masters of Traditional Irish Music.
