We’ve just revealed the day splits for the first-ever Fresh Ayr Folk Fest – and the buzz is real! From big-name live acts to emerging folk favourites, each day of the festival is shaping up to be something truly special. Whether you’re all about late-night foot-stompers or laid-back Sunday harmonies, now you can map out your ideal festival weekend.

📅 Here’s a taste of what’s in store:

• Friday kicks things off with fire – expect high energy and unforgettable opening performances.

• Saturday brings a full-day folk explosion, packed with crowd favourites and future stars.

• Sunday eases you into the week with soul-soothers and warm melodies – a gentle end to a big weekend.

Starting Thursday 22 May, you can grab individual day tickets, perfect if you’ve got your eye on a specific act or can only make one day. But if you’re thinking of diving into more than one, our weekend passes still offer the best value (and the fullest experience!).

This festival is about more than just great music – it’s about building something new in Ayr. As a grassroots event, Fresh Ayr Folk Fest is locally led, independently run, and born from a deep love of folk culture, community spirit, and live performance.

Your ticket doesn’t just get you in the door – it helps bring this vision to life. Early ticket sales make a huge difference in helping us support artists, put on the best show possible, and grow a festival that Ayrshire can be proud of for years to come.

We can’t wait to share this weekend of music, stories, and connection with you. Join us in making the 2nd Fresh Ayr Folk Fest one to remember!
