About The Irish Maritime Festival
The award-winning Irish Maritime Festival at Drogheda Port is back on 16-17th June 2018.
With over 40,000 visitors it is now established as the largest Maritime Festival in Ireland. This family friendly festival includes Sailing Ships, Yachts, Coastguard and Lifeboat vessels and many more ships berthed at the town quays. The quays will be a hive of activity with music stages, a food quarter, kids play zone, a sand zone, a funfair and lots more.
The Irish Maritime Festival is hosted by Louth County Council and Drogheda Port Company in association with Virgin Media and is also supported by Fáilte Ireland. You can find out more about the Festival on www.MaritimeFestival.ie
