Organisers of the St. Patrick’s Festival Killarney have confirmed that country music star Jake Carter and his band will headline a major live concert at the New Street Festival Zone this March.

The performance is a centrepiece of the 2026 festival, which runs from Friday, March 13, to Thursday, March 19, under the theme “The Echoes of Killarney: Future.”

The concert will take place in the New Street Car Park from 12 noon to 4.00 pm on March 15.

This year’s theme completes the ‘Echoes’ trilogy, specifically celebrating the talents and creativity of the next generation.

The festival aims to showcase a town that is evolving to be greener, more sustainable, and inclusive for all families.

Following the success of its debut, AbleFest will also return to the festival programme.

This inclusive music and arts festival is specifically designed for individuals with additional needs, their families, and carers.

The event will feature a range of interactive activities alongside the musical performances, ensuring the festival remains accessible to every member of the community.

“Following the incredible success of last year, AbleFest continues to be a proud and important part of our festival programme,” said Festival Chairperson Jason Clifford.

He added that the 2026 celebrations will amplify the energy and vision of Killarney’s youth through its schools, sports organisations, and creative groups.

“As we close the Echoes Trilogy, we invite the entire community to come together to celebrate our young people and the future they represent – a future built on inclusion, creativity, sustainability and community pride,”
