Castlebar is the location for important festivals and
traditions, among which is the International Four Days' Walk. A
well-established blues music festival in venues across the town took
place for many years on the weekend before the first Monday in June, but did
not take place this year (2012). During the 1970s and 1980s the town hosted the
InternationalCastlebar Song Contest which was televised nationally on RTE.
