Thanks to everyone who visited Kilkenny in 2009 and helped us to celebrate our 400th year of civic history. We had a great time and we hope you did too… the 400 celebrations are now over but the party hasn’t stopped in Kilkenny, the festival capital of Ireland.

Check out all of the latest news on upcoming festivals and events on the Kilkenny Tourism Website.

Next up is the Kilkenny Arts Festival from 6th-15th August 2010

There are no plans to continue to update the Kilkenny 400 site at the moment, however it will remain online as a memento of our year of celebration. Click here to view a short video looking back over the 400th year.

Don’t be a stranger to Kilkenny in 2010, come help us celebrate our 401st ….
