About The Festival
Gaelic for Islay Festival "Feis Ile" the Islay Festival of Malt and Music - was founded by the local people of Islay in 1986 to celebrate the heritage and culture of Isle of Islay and to provide a pan cultural and activity based series of events.
The Feis starts the last weekend of May each year and lasts for one week.
Islay has a wealth of musical talent, which is very much in evidence at the ceilidhs. Mainland artistes are also brought to the island for the festival week.
Since 2000 Feis Ile has been run in conjunction with the distilleries of Islay and Jura and Port Ellen Maltings. Each distillery has its own open day, putting on special events.
Concerts, ceilidhs, children's shows, distillery open days, guided walks and sporting events - there is something for everyone.
