Gorey Market House Festival was ‘an extraordinary success'
Visitors got to enjoy a packed schedule across the entire weekend including live music from acts such as The Swift Show (Taylor Swift Tribute), Live Forever (Oasis Tribute), and Fairytale of The Pogues (Pogues Tribute).
Traditional tunes were also played on the stage from Gorey and Ballygarrett CCÉ. Members of the community also gathered to take part in the annual Making Music Busking competition, where over €1,000 worth of vouchers were won.
Alongside the bustling music on the streets, the Family Fun Day made its return to Gorey Town Park on Saturday, where locals engaged with hands-on interactive workshops filled with arts and crafts, dancing, games and competitions.
Sinead Monaghan is involved with the festival and said the weekend was a huge success. 'This year's Gorey Market House Festival has been nothing short of extraordinary From the music to the Family Fun Day, Superhero Fun Run & Market Day, it was fantastic to see the whole town out enjoying themselves.
'A heartfelt thank you to the committee, the festival sponsors, Wexford County Council and volunteers who made this event a memorable success & of course the people of Gorey. We will see you all in 2026 for another great Gorey Market House Festival,' Sinead said.
Sergeant Evelyn Reddan in Gorey Garda Station said the Market House Festival was a great success. Sgt Reddan said only three minor public order incidents were handled by An Garda Síochána at the festival last weekend.
