The Lady Desart Choir is thrilled to announce that Kilkenny ChoirFest is back for 2024!
Organised by the Lady Desart Choir, and with all ticket proceeds this year going to Kilkenny/Carlow Samaritans, the festival will take place on Saturday, May 25th from 12pm to 6pm at the Castleinch Venue, Kilkenny, with kind and generous support from Michael Power, CEO of Castleinch Venue, R95 DW92.
After the resounding success of the inaugural event in 2023, which raised over €5000 for the event's charity partner, and brought the community together in a celebration of music and fun, the choir is eager to build on this foundation and create an even more impactful event in 2024.
In addition to ten choir performances across the afternoon, there will be child-friendly activities such as a giant bungee, bouncy obstacle course, face painting, games, and a visit from Nore Valley mobile mini-farm. There will also be entertainment from St. Patrick's Kilkenny Brass Band, and Beat FM will add to the party atmosphere, broadcasting from their 'Beast' OB unit with their troop of Beat Fleeters on hand to make sure everyone is having fun.
