Clonakilty Interantional Guitar Festival 2023
The Clonakilty International Guitar Festival (CIGF) is a celebration of the guitar. Since it began in 2005, virtuosos and noodlers have been welcomed and exalted for a week of pure music, craic, lights, dancing, picking, bending, hammering, sliding and shredding.
The Festival is run by a small not-for-profit organisation of music lovers. We’re proud of the rich, relaxed, educational, exciting and artistic environment our festival creates in beautiful Clonakilty.
For a festival week our whole town becomes a stage with performances and events happening in all manner of venues – from the local schools and library to the bars and butcher shops.
The majority of events are free throughout our festival, with some select ticketed shows.
All artists get paid.
