The festival has moved to the Edenderry GAA grounds to facilitate a giant marquee to house the music acts over the weekend so the festival will nolt be weather dependent and also with large crowds expected, organisers considered it safer to operate in the grounds of the GAA away from the main road.  

Edenderry Festival 2024 is proudly sponsored by SSE Renewables and Offaly County Council Rural Development LEADER Programme.  Midlands Radio will be broadcasting live and as you groove to the rhythm, refuel yourself with a wide array of delectable food and beverages from food trucks and local vendors.
