”Come On Down & Support Your Town”

On behalf of the 2025 Bailiu Na Banndan Summer Festival Committee, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to our website in order to showcase our schedule of events for this year. Our festival is a celebration of community, culture, music, and summer spirit that brings us all together in the heart of West Cork.

What makes this festival truly special isn’t just the entertainment or the events…it’s the people. I want to begin by expressing my heartfelt thanks to the incredible, hardworking and dedicated festival committee. This team has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for months planning, organizing and fundraising always with passion and pride in our town.

A massive thank you as well to our sponsors, whose generosity and community spirit make this entire festival possible. Without your support, we wouldn’t be able to offer such a wide range of events for all ages, from live music, to our family fun day, colour run and everything in between.

To all the local businesses, volunteers, performers, and supporters—Thank You. Your involvement adds colour, energy, and character to every corner of the festival. It truly is a community effort, and Bandon is shining because of it.

Whether you’re a lifelong local or a first-time visitor, we hope you’ll find something to enjoy, laugh about, dance to, or simply remember fondly. This year’s festival is shaping up to be a fantastic one and it’s all thanks to each and every one of you who’ve given your time, energy, and enthusiasm.

Let’s make this a summer to remember. Enjoy the festival, support one another, and most of all—have fun!

Thank you.
