Galway Arts Festival
The Galway Arts Festival takes place in Galway, Ireland every July. It first began in 1978 and since has grown into one of the biggest arts festivals in Ireland.
Each year over 100,000 people attend the Galway Arts Festival, with hundreds of writers, artists, performers and musicians creating theatre, spectacle, street art, music, comedy, literature and music to produce a stunning fortnight of cultural activity and celebration.
Galway Arts Festival is the defining cultural expression of Galway and is at the heart of all aspects life in the city.
Over its 3 decade history the Galway Arts Festival has become a vital showcase for Irish arts and international arts and is now firmly established as Ireland’s leading arts festival.
Over the years the Festival has developed a reputation to rival the near-hedonistic atmosphere which envelopes the city of Galway during those weeks. Highlights of the festival tend to be Macnas and Druid performances, two large local performance groups.
