The Annual Southern Shore Folk Festival was started in 1986. In 1995 the Southern Shore Folk Arts Council (SSFAC) re-focused the Festival to take on a more traditional Newfoundland / Irish flavour. From those efforts was born the Shamrock Festival.
The Shamrock Festival has attracted great interest from both musicians and the public alike and has achieved significant growth since its inception. Annual improvements to the Festival Site, combined with an outstanding lineup of performers, positions the Shamrock Festival as one of the top music Festivals on the Island.
So, if you're in the mood for the best in Newfoundland hospitality and entertainment, check out the annual Shamrock Festival.
Shuttle service from Ferryland to the Festival Site is available.
Performers include Jackie Sullivan, The Irish Descendants, Jimmy Carton, Ron Hynes, Ennis, The Masterless Men as well as our own local performers.
Middle Tickle will highlight our Saturday Night concert.
Also on July 25th, we will be presenting the 2nd Annual Songwriter's Circle hosted by Ron Hynes.
