The Old Fort Festival took place in Portlaoise over the weekend and was a roaring success once again.
After great musical entertainment over the first few days, Sunday had something for everyone.
There were talks, stalls and plenty of other shenanigans taking place to keep everyone happy.
On the stage, the festival ended on a high on Sunday as the sensational Smash Hits took center stage.
Before all of that, on Thursday, Festival newcomers The Tumbling Paddies were the headline act and drew a huge crowd.
George Murphy provided support and he set the tone for an epic weekend ahead.
While Portlaoise band Coolboy were a late addition to the bill and went down a treat.
Friday saw the return of crowd favorites The Whistlin’ Donkeys – and they did not disappoint.
The action continued on Saturday where an Oasis tribute by ‘Live Forever’ and a performance by local favorites Pogueology ensured a night of non-stop entertainment and sing-along classics.
Photographer Alf Harvey was there on Sunday and captured some great images.
