Newry Business Improvement District (BID) were delighted to organise TradFest again this year and promote Newry City over three days.

Running from March 14^th– 16^th the sessions were widespread across the city including both day and night time slots.

Many Trad musicians played in multiple venues entertaining audiences over the weekend creating a cultural and vibrant atmosphere in many bars and restaurants.

As an addition to this year’s TradFest, Newry BID facilitated Irish dancers at Marcus square, Hill Street to entertain passers-by.

Newry BID believe TradFest is a perfect addition to the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, with the previous events being such a success Newry BID are committed to making this an annual festival that benefits local businesses and profiles Newry as a place to be on St. Patrick’s Day.
