President Higgins to perform one of his last civic duties at the official opening of Wexford's Fleadh Cheoil 2025
Confirming the president's appearance, chief executive of Wexford County Council (WCC) Eddie Taaffe said there were also tentative plans to have a fireworks display on the closing night of the Fleadh a week later.
'That will be a jam-packed evening on the Gig Rig, headlined by the All-Ireland winning ceilí band, we're also hoping to have a fireworks display on the night as well, to mark the end of what will hopefully be two successful Fleadhs in Wexford,' he said.
That closing ceremony will also see the Fleadh baton passed to a delegation from Belfast as it prepares to emulate Wexford's successful staging of two consecutive events.
With the event now just weeks away, Mr Taaffe said there will be a 'certain amount of disruption' in Wexford town in the coming days as crews prepare for the arrival of an estimated 700,000 people to the county. ,
Traffic management plans, including the bus schedules, are on the Fleadh Cheoil website.

World famous singer Anthony Kearns to open Fleadh – ‘It's great to be able to stand up in front of your own people and fly the flag for Wexford'
This year, Anthony will help open Fleadh Cheoil na hÉeireann, the largest annual festival of traditional Irish music, dance and song anywhere in the world which Wexford will again host. While he is most widely known as a tenor, this is an invaluable opportunity for him to reconnect with his roots. From Kiltealy, known as 'the most sign posted village in the county' he laughs, he first performed at the Fleadh decades ago. 'It's funny now. A friend of mine, Ed Rowsome dug up some information and found that I performed in the 1980 Fleadh in Sligo as an U'18. The trad was what we were reared on.' The Fleadh is a lot of things, and it can be different things to people. It will be an unprecedented tourism opportunity, invaluable to businesses across the county, but at its core is music. For boys and girls and men and women who have put in countless hours of practise to master their trade, this is their All – Ireland Final. 'People shouldn't underestimate that, it is about the competition. It's an All – Ireland, from every parish and county. It's very competitive, and it hasn't changed. The kids today are just phenomenal… It's like being in the field, throw in the ball and blow the whistle.' The singer owns Rackard's pub in Killane. Yes, the same place where John Kelly, 'the boy' was from, immortalised in the Patrick Joseph McCall song made famous by The Dubliners and he is struck by the crowds that come out for trad sessions. 'We had 27 or 28 musicians at the last trad session in the lounge. You can spot young talent coming through. There is one chap in particular from Wexford who is just off the charts as a bodhran player. And if he doesn't make a career in this profession, I'll eat my hat.' John's love and pride for Wexford isn't artificial or a matter of convenience. It runs deep. In 2013, he joined his friend Michael Londra and 'half of Wexford', alongside the good and the great at Arlington Cemetery to mark five decades since President Kennedy's death. But unsurprisingly, the last Sunday in September in 1996 was pretty unforgettable for him. 'I didn't think we'd be waiting so long for our next All – Ireland, but that day was special. I came up from Kerry, I was singing at a friend's wedding. I got to Heuston Station and I couldn't get across the city. I was sitting in a Taxi going nowhere. 'I called a friend of mine, Jim who worked in The Plough bar on Abbey Street. Jim called John McCarthy, a former Dublin footballer and Garda who came over on a motorbike and escorted me out of the traffic and brought me to the gates of Croke Park. 'There, I entered with Michael O'Hehir, who was in a wheelchair at the time and went straight onto the pitch to rehearse with the Artane Boys Band. I still have my ticket with the stub attached because I was rushed in so quickly…. And the celebrations. Sure I suppose we're still celebrating.' By opening this year's Fleadh, Anthony will join President Michael D Higgins on stage. He knows what it means. 'It's wonderful to be back on home soil. I'm singing one song for them and of course that is Boolavogue. Eithne Corrigan is going to be accompanying me on piano, she's well known in the Wexford music scene. It's great to be able to stand up in front of your own people and fly the flag for Wexford. It's a full circle moment.'

Thousands expected for opening day of Fleadh in Wexford
Thousands of people are expected to gather for the opening day of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025 which is being held in Wexford town for the second year in a row. The Irish music festival will run for eight days, with organisers saying this year will be bigger than last year. President Michael D Higgins will officially open the Fleadh at a ceremony on Wexford's quay front, where he will address the crowd from the "Gig Rig" - a specially constructed stage that will play host to hundreds of free music events over the next week. Organisers expect more people than last year to attend, with 700,000 people due to visit the county town of Wexford for the world's biggest traditional Irish music festival. Chief Executive of Wexford County Council Eddie Taff said last year the 650,000 visitors who came for the Fleadh gave a €65m boost to the local economy. He said the town has been a "hub of activity" for the last few weeks as the organisers and volunteers, local businesses and local people aim to have an even bigger and better Fleadh than last year. There will be around 40,000 - 50,000 competitors taking part in 180 competitions over a three-day period from next Friday. Those musicians, dancers, singers and storytellers will compete at the different venues which are located across the town. There will be 1,000 volunteers to help people find their way around Wexford town where hundreds of gigs and sessions will take place, while visitors will also enjoy the many buskers who will entertain them on the winding, narrow streets. Wexford County Council have a traffic management plan with diversions, street closures and park and ride routes for visitors. There will also be extra public transport services for the duration of the festival.
