By Dan Walsh at Gorey Market House Festival
The music is playing from the big stage on the Main Street, Gorey, tonight, as the 2025 Market House Festival gets into the rhythm and a large crowd is present. There was no formal opening ceremony, it was straight into the music.
Live music, arts and family fun are the main ingredients set to ignite Gorey where the Market House Festival takes precedence this weekend.
Philip Knight, Gorey Kilmuckridge District Manager said “We’re incredibly excited to see the Gorey Market House Festival return. It’s a wonderful celebration of local music, culture and community spirit, right here in the heart of Gorey. Events like this are what makes Gorey such a vibrant and welcoming place to live and visit.’
Cllr Donal Kenny, Cathaoirleach of Gorey Kilmuckridge Municipal District told WexfordLocal.com; “The Gorey Market House Festival is a real highlight of the summer for families and visitors alike. It brings people together, supports local businesses and showcases the wonderful talent we have in our area.”
Visitors can expect a jam packed schedule of entertainment and events, including free live music on the Main Street with artists including The Swift Show (Taylor Swift Tribute), Live Forever (Oasis Tribute), Fairytale of The Pogues (Pogues Tribute), Dabilla, The Mafia Cats, Fusion and Josh Quinn to name a few.
The Gorey Market House Festival has always been about the community and so there is the return of The Family Fun Day in Gorey Town Park on Saturday from 12pm, A Street Market on Gorey Main Street on Sunday from 10am, The Superhero Fun Run in Gorey Town Park on Sunday from 10am and the annual Making Music Busking Competition on Saturday.
