Welcome to Louisburgh Online.

Louisburgh is a small town on the southwest corner of Clew Bay in County Mayo, Ireland. It is home to the Gráinne O’Malley Interpretive Centre and is built on the Bunowen River, part of which is a salmon fishery.

There are a number of beaches in the area renowned for their cleanliness and each year, on the May Bank Holiday Weekend, the town hosts a traditional music festival – Féile Chois Chuan – which attracts a large number of enthusiasts from many parts of Ireland and abroad.

The main geographical features around Louisburgh are Croagh Patrick to the east, the Sheaffrey and Mweelrea Mountains to the south, the Atlantic to the west and Clew Bay to the north.

Nearby Roonagh Pier, approx 6 km from the town, is the departure point for ferries to Clare Island and Inishturk.

Louisburgh also hosts the annual triburgh each year along with the Louisburgh horse show which is normally in June.

July is host to the Carrowniskey horse races which is a few miles to the south of Louisburgh and is a fun day out for the family.

Details of the Féile Chois Chuan, triburgh, Louisburgh horse show and the Carrowniskey races will be posted in our Calender of Events as they become available along with other events that are happening within the local area.
