Old Fort Quarter Festival
A little about us:
Set in the heart of Portlaoise’s historic Old Fort Quarter, the Old Fort Quarter Festival is a vibrant celebration of music, history, food, and local culture. Taking place each summer, the festival brings the streets to life with live music, heritage walking tours, family-friendly activities, and artisan food markets – all in the shadow of Fort Protector, one of Ireland’s oldest military structures.
The festival honours the rich heritage of Portlaoise while showcasing the best of modern-day Laois through performances, reenactments, and community spirit. Whether you’re a history buff, a music lover, or just looking for a great day out, the Old Fort Quarter Festival offers something for everyone.
