Since the first ‘Festival of Music and the Arts’ took place in October 1951, Wexford Festival Opera has grown into one of the world’s leading opera festivals and in 2017 it won Best Opera Festival in the World at the 2017 International Opera Awards.

The Festival’s success is due in no small part to Wexford itself. Every year at Festival time the streets, pubs and restaurants of this ancient Viking town are buzzing with excitement and the warm welcome waiting from an army of Festival volunteers keeps opera-lovers coming back year after year.

Running from October 19th to November 4th, the 67th Wexford Opera Festival will deliver something for everyone, click here for the full program.

Less than a two hour drive from Dublin City Centre, Wexford is peppered with beautiful places to stay and eat including spots in Rosslare Strand, Kilmore Quay, Gorey, Wexford Town and New Ross.

From all of us here in the Glen Fuels Wexford depots, we would like to congratulate the many people involved in this fantastic festival that has brought people from all over the world to County Wexford.
