INDIEPENDENCE is a festival "weekender" which takes place on the outskirts of Mitchelstown in northern County Cork, typically on the August Bank Holiday weekend.^{[citation needed]} The festival features a variety of artists as well as comedy, spoken word, a small cinema and other attractions. INDIE, as it is known, has been shortlisted as one of the best small festivals in Europe several times as well as winning awards within Ireland.^{[citation needed]}

INDIEPENDENCE first started as a free festival in the town square in Mitchelstown, running as such in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Over these years artists such as The Frank & Walters, Gemma Hayes, The Republic of Loose, The Sultans of Ping, Delorentos, Director and The Blizzards performed at the single stage event.^{[citation needed]} After capacity crowds in 2008, the festival moved to a green field site at O'Connell Park in 2009 and charged entry for the first time. This event featured The Super Furry Animals, Ocean Colour Scene, Villagers, The Blizzards and others. Despite poor weather, it was a success and the festival moved to Deer Farm in 2010.^{[citation needed]}
