THE INDIEPENDENCE Music & Arts Festival in Co Cork won’t go ahead next year as it is “taking a break”.
The weekend festival in Mitchelstown in Co Cork started in 2006 and typically takes place on the August Bank Holiday weekend.
A statement from the festival noted its small beginnings in “the town square” in 2006 and remarked that “since then, we’ve seen it all, rain, sunshine and hurricanes.”
The statement added: “We’ve had some wonderful times and some really difficult ones and now we need a little break to recoup and relook and hopefully come back stronger”.
While Indiependence won’t take place next year, the festival organisers said this “break in 2024 is with a view to seeing you again in 2025”.
The festival also thanked “everyone who has helped and supported us over the years”, adding: “We are more grateful than words can explain.”
