Celebrating food, heritage & nature through the Prism of the arts
Welcome to the home of Clonmel Applefest, our annual festival that celebrates the food, heritage and the natural environment of Clonmel and its environs through the prism of the Arts.
This year, Clonmel Applefest will take place from the 24th to the 27th September.
And our theme will be CARE with #showthatyoucare as our tagline. We will centre our events and projects around that theme collaborating with many local and national artists, crafters, food producers, performers and communities to celebrate the rich cultural, industrial and natural heritage of Clonmel and South Tipperary, promoting it as a valued place to live and visit for locals and visitors alike.

We have a couple of wonderful projects lined up for 2025 including The Families of Clonmel writing project. Cruinniù na n-Óg day took place again on Saturday 7th June at Kickham Plaza with a Junior and senior youth strand from 12 to 8pm. Our brochure launch took place on the 6th September with live music, welcoming the Autumn and our festival's feast of celebratory events around food, heritage and harvest. 2025 promises to be another exciting edition with the theme of #thetiesthatbind as our central theme.
