The wider Midlands region is set for a boost next year with Mullingar hosting the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
The town was due to host the 2020 and 2021 events but both were cancelled due to Covid-19. However, it will get its chance next year to welcome hundreds of thousands of people for the biggest event in Irish music and culture.
President of Mullingar Chamber of Commerce, John Geoghegan says as well as generating up to 20 million euro for the local economy, the local committee will work to bring visitors to other Midlands towns.
