What’s On

Lá na Cruite, Harp Day 2023

Lá na Cruite | Harp Day takes place this year on Saturday 21st October 2023. Now in its seventh year and featuring live and online harping events, we invite harpers everywhere to join with us in marking this special day, where harps will resound in all corners of the world.

The theme of our 2023 harp day celebration is Meanma; the morale, the spirit and the pride that harpers have in our harping tradition, which is recognised on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanities. Harpers worldwide can showcase and embody that joy and courage, as together we push the parameters of our harping tradition.

Visit Harp Ireland's YouTube channel to enjoy our Harp Day online programmes at https://www.youtube.com/c/harpireland.

You can support us in our work to promote harping by donating at https://www.harpireland.ie/donate/
