Festivals this June on the Island of Ireland

The month of June 2019, a month of sunshine, we hope, and festivals across the island of Ireland. I’ve structured this month’s article a little different, to make it easier to navigate. My top festival picks are still divided by province with useful links to each celebration. But before you go making plans, here is a gorgeous poem about June by Irish Poet Francis Ledwidge.
