WELCOME TO GUITARTOWN! A renowned jamboree that venerates the artists - from young to old, from virtuosos to three-chord heroes - that keep the flame of creativity burning bright. The festival features a diverse line-up of performances, workshops, masterclasses, and jam sessions, showcasing a wide range of guitar styles. Acclaimed musicians and emerging talents alike take the stage, offering captivating performances and creating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the town.
CIGF began in 2005 and since then has become one of the most anticipated events in the west Cork calendar. We have always made the town of Clonakilty itself the main stage, and for the whole weekend every street is brimming with music fans discovering their new favourite artist.
