Warrenpoint is a small town of about 7000 population situated on a headland jutting out into Carlingford Lough. Carlingford Lough is a fiord like sea inlet with mountains sweeping down to the sea on either side. This unusual combination of sea and mountains gives rise to the magnificent scenery for which the area is justly famous.

The Festival includes concerts,free street entertainment, a fireworks extravaganza, numerous children's events, a Festival Parade, a Festival Banquet and the Selection & Crowning of the 'Maiden of the Mournes'.
