The opening night fireworks will light up Wexford harbour on Thursday October 19 at 7.30pm. This year, to increase the public’s comfort and safety, free tickets will be required to access the main viewing point on the quay front, which includes the area past the Spiegeltent in front of the stage for the speeches and the fireworks. Tickets are not required for any other areas in or around Wexford town. Other great viewing areas in and around town include: Wexford Golf Course, Mulgannon; St. Peter’s College, Summerhill (front car park); Sarsfields GAA Club in Park.

The free tickets will be available from Saturday, 14 October from a number of convenient venues, including the National Opera House, Wexford Arts Centre in Cornmarket, and the Spiegeltent Ticket Office on South Main Street, and from Monday, 16 October from the Wexford Borough District Council offices on Spawell Road, the Wexford County Council offices in Carricklawn. Just drop in to any of these locations and collect your free tickets, which will be available on a first come first served basis.

For those who decide to travel to the quay front for the speeches and fireworks, the usual traffic restrictions into Wexford town and along the quay front will remain as in previous years, with the quays closed to traffic from 6 pm, and Wexford Bridge closed from 7 pm. Both will reopen at 8 pm.

The stellar line-up contains Irish comedy stars such as Neil Delamere, Jason Byrne, Deirdre O’Kane, Al Porter, Colin Murphy, Joe Rooneyand Barry Murphy of Aprés Match fame, alongside international stars such as Canadian funnyman Tom Stade, and fresh from selling out three Vicar Street shows, new sensations Foil Arms & Hog.

This year’s Festival sees the launch of the Comedy HUB, a state of the art 500 seat venue specially constructed on the Wexford Quay Front. This venue will be a unique experience for the audience during the weekend, and will see the best comedians take to the stage each night. Comedy gigs will also take place a number of venues across Wexford town including the beautiful surrounds of the Greenacres Art Gallery, Upstairs in Mackens and in the Talbot Hotel. The Quay will also be the location for a Street Theatre Arena, where the best of local, national and international talent will perform daily. Wexford’s finest Bui Bolg will be joined by amongst others, the Fanzini Brothers.
