Ablefest at Tradfest

Ablefest

For the past 2 years, TradFest has partnered with AbleFest to bring a 2 day program of fully accessible events in The National Stadium. These events feature complete wheelchair access, seating adaptations, a sensory room, fully accessible toilets, and a dedicated space for caregivers to relax and recharge.

AbleFest is not only Ireland’s largest inclusive music festival, but a movement that embraces diversity, celebrates difference, and encourages inclusivity. It provides a space for neurodiverse children, adults, their families, friends and carers to enjoy the arts, culture and music, in an accessible and safe setting.

AbleFest assisted TradFest in the planning and delivery of a fully accessible programme of events at The National Stadium in January 2025 and 2026, with the team offering their expertise and guidance on what’s required to make sure a festival is a welcoming space for all.

As TradFest and AbleFest work in tandem, Fionn Angus of Fionnathan Productions was announced as a TradFest Ambassador in March 2025. This alliance puts the spotlight on artists with additional needs, celebrating those who shape both festivals into beacons of inclusivity.

Everything we do at TradFest is based on the vision of being an inclusive space to amplify the voices, experiences and talents of people of all abilities, genders and backgrounds.
