Since our beginning in 1984 the Islay Festival Association must have greeted literally hundreds of thousands of visitors, and still you find us!! This year we will be featuring an outdoor gig, Gaelic lessons, music, songs, ceilidhs, fishing, whisky tasting and much more.
The Festival is held in the last week of May every year, with ceilidhs, dances, recitals, children's workshops; there is something for everyone.
For the last number of years all of the Islay distilleries have held open days throughout the week of the festival, adding to the mix!
Come along and enjoy a week long celebration of music and all that Islay has to offer.
The 2013 Islay Festival will run from 24th May 2013 until 1st June 2013.
