Roddens Bar, O Flaherty's and The Drift Inn are always good for a mix of traditional, rock and country music. The annual Buncrana Music & Arts Festival takes place every 23 July in the town.

The Buncrana Music and Arts festival returned to the town in 2010, after a five year absence. The festival included successful performances from The Coronas, The Undertonesand Altan. It will return in 2011, and will take place during the month of July.

Buncrana is also famous for producing traditional music artists. Dinny McLaughlin, Paul McClure, Ciaran Tourish and Tom Byrne are all natives of the town, and have performed to critical acclaim all over the country.
