Galway International Arts Festival 2024 takes place from 15-28 July. It is the Festival of extraordinary experiences, a creative collision of performance, music, visual art, theatre and spectacle. Whether turning a small Irish city on its head for two weeks, taking work on an international tour, or being a forceful year-round presence, every experience of the Galway International Arts Festival is an unforgettable encounter.
Rooted in Galway, the Festival unlocks people's passions and inspires new ways of thinking and acting. We are creative collision makers, sparking connections between the arts, between audiences and performers, between Galway and the world. Every encounter with Galway International Arts Festival is an invitation to join our 21st cultural pilgrimage, seeking new horizons, embracing creativity and the unexpected.
Strolling along the cobbled streets, every turn offers the possibility for new adventure: surreal giant puppets snaking through the streets, enchanting music, enthralling musicans and awe-inspiring street theatre.
