Stradbally Steam Rally
The National Steam Rally in Stradbally is held during the Bank Holiday Weekend in August, on the grounds of the Cosby Estate, Stradbally Co. Laois.
The National Steam Rally in Stradbally is a celebration of Ireland’s rich steam engine heritage.
Stradbally Steam Rally – 60th Anniversary
The 61st event in the series will take place in Stradbally, Co Laois,
on August 3rd & 4th, 2025 (Irish bank holiday – not the same as the UK). This is considered by many to be the premier event in the calendar of steam and vintage shows throughout Ireland.
It attracts a wide range of working exhibits and a huge attendance of visitors. It is much enhanced by its very convenient location to the rear of Main Street, adjacent to all of the town facilities.
The rallies are approved under the code of conduct of the National Traction Engine Trust.
