Fresh Ayr

Calling all music lovers, and fun-seekers! The Fresh Ayr Folk Fest is hurtling into Troon Town Centre from August 14th to 16th, 2026.

Imagine 3 days of Folk, World, and Roots music filling the air and raising the roofs, with over 30 top-notch artists from Scotland and beyond gracing the stage. Think foot-stomping fiddle tunes, soulful ballads, and infectious grooves that’ll have you dancing like nobody’s watching.

But wait, there’s more! The festival is packed with workshops where you can learn new tunes, swap stories with music lovers, and maybe even try your hand (or voice) at a new instrument. Get ready for lively sessions throughout each day —laughter, music, and craic guaranteed!

All events will be in the amazing Troon Concert Hall where a Weekend Pass will see you gain access to it all. In addition, the Municipal Buildings will host free sessions, Merchandise, our Box Office and refreshments, in other areas of the complex.

So, whether you’re a die-hard folk fan or just looking for a fun weekend getaway, the Fresh Ayr Folk Fest is the place to be. Don’t miss out on this celebration of music and culture!
