The Centenary Year of the Jersey Eisteddfod was celebrated in 2008, one hundred years after its inception by Dean Falle in 1908.
It was not possible to hold a festival every year between those two dates. Two world wars and, more recently, the coronavirus epidemic gave rise to some fallow years.
Taking this into account, is was calculated that 2025 was the actual 100th Festival Year and the event was celebrated by way of a Vin d’Honneur held at Government House on 26 June 2025
The Festivals of Performing Arts
The Festivals of English Speech & Drama and of Music are held each November and the next Festival of Dance will be held in October 2027
The Festival of Languages is held at the beginning of each year
