Heading into its eighth year, Clonmel Junction Festival is unique in its ability to bring people onto the streets of Clonmel to celebrate the wealth of cultural activity taking place, and indeed, to celebrate the town itself. With a rich mix of modern theatre, dance, family spectacles, street theatre, rock, world music and trad, the festival has grown to be one of the most significant cultural celebrations of the Irish summer festival season, and the 2008 programme promises to keep the Junction reputation flying high.
