Headfest 2024

Headfest, the Headford annual community festival is expected to take place over the June Bank Holiday weekend from from Friday 31st May to Sunday 2nd June 2024. A temporary arena is expected to be based in the Moyne Villa F.C sportsgrounds for the duration of the festival.

Monaghan’s Big Red Barn, which is taking place over the weekend, will feature live music and wonderful entertainment every night. The headline acts for this year’s festival are The Tumbling Paddies, Cliona Hagan, All Folk’d Up, and Gerry Guthrie, and it’ll be a weekend of entertainment you won’t want to miss!

On Sunday, we have a family fun day, and on Monday, we host a “Mini Headfest” music event in Monaghan’s Big Red Barn, with activities and music geared toward our community’s younger members.

They also have a complete calendar of community events, including art and photography exhibitions, football, rugby, fishing, soccer, clay pigeon shooting, a craft market, community yoga, and a cooking demonstration by a local professional chef.

For those who haven’t been, Headford is a small town with a big heart and a lot of community spirit, and there are a lot of free events, thanks to an army of volunteers and the generous support of Monaghan’s Headford, Monaghan’s Skoda and Seat, and many smaller local businesses who donate to us year after year and help us on our mission to bring people together and give the town something to be proud of.
