ALL SHUCKED UPHowth Guinness Oyster & Music Festival
Feb 28th - March 2nd 2025
Get Ready for Howth’s New Festival: Guinness, Oysters, and Music Like Never Before!
Howth is turning up the volume with the launch of its inaugural Howth Guinness, Oyster & Music Festival: "ALL SHUCKED UP"! Set in the coastal fishing village just outside Dublin, this vibrant festival offers a mix of incredible live music, mouthwatering seafood, and the iconic taste of Guinness. Best of all, it’s mostly free!
A Festival to Savour
Howth, famous for its seafood bars and restaurants, has created a festival celebrating three of our favourite things: Guinness, oysters, and music. The Abbey Tavern will host an National Qualifier Oyster Shucking Competition, there will be Roaming Oyster Shuckers, a Best Dressed Oyster competition and an Oyster Shucking Masterclass. Restaurants and bars alike will serve the best tasting oysters and will all take part in the best dressed oyster competition.
With 7 unique venues scattered across the village and the stunning Howth hill, plus 4 ticketed headline shows at the historic Abbey Tavern and 3 exclusive shows at The Summit Inn, this festival promises an unforgettable weekend. Imagine strolling from gig to gig, soaking in the village’s charm, much like going to Electric Picnic but with no ticket required for most events. We even have Camper Van parking available at the nearby Suttonians Rugby Club.
