Ché do Bheatha Festival < Back
Event Over****Due to Covid 19 restrictions, this event has been cancelled. Please join us next year when we will be back bigger and better than ever!****
If you like to party then you will love the Che Do Bheatha Festival. The whole of Kilkee comes alive with salsa, flamenco, gypsy and all kinds of fantastic music and dance. It is Loop Head’s most colourful event. All the pubs, restaurants and hotels will be holding Latin American events.
The Festival was started in 2011 to celebrate 50 years since the meeting of the artist Jim Fitzpatrick and Ché Guevara in a hotel bar in Kilkee. This meeting inspired the artist to paint the world famous iconic image that has adorned bedroom walls and t-shirts all over the world.

Hi, Can I ask you to consider me for this year’s festival . I played Spanish guitar at the opening in the Strand Hotel last year and I have a lot of Latin American pieces in my repertoire like this Cuban favourite,Guantanamera.

Hi Austin, I’m guessing you have already spoken to the organising committee already on this?
