This year’s festival theme, Threads, runs throughout the programme in many different ways. Threads of story and memory, threads of making and material and the connections between artists, audiences and community all come together across the festival.

Through music, visual art, street theatre, performance, workshops and conversation, this year’s programme celebrates creativity and shared experience. Cashel Arts Festival continues to grow through the support and dedication of many people. We would like to sincerely thank our sponsors, local businesses, artists and volunteers whose generosity, work and enthusiasm make the festival possible each year. We hope you enjoy this year’s festival and the many threads that connect the people, places and ideas within it.
