Saltwater Festival 2026
About This Event
Take on one of Ireland’s toughest and most spectacular mountain-running challenges in the heart of Donegal’s Derryveagh Mountains.
Celebrate Donegal’s Atlantic surf culture as Saltwater Festival returns to Bundoran for several days of surfing, music, art and coastal experiences.
At the heart of the festival is international competitive surfing at The Peak, one of Bundoran’s most famous surf breaks, with competitors taking to some of Ireland’s best-known waves.
Away from the water, visitors can enjoy live music across local venues, art exhibitions, wellness activities and the laid-back atmosphere that has made Bundoran Ireland’s surf capital.
