Festival Opening

Join us for this year’s festival opening with comedian Tom O’Mahony. Tom, a native of Tipperary, is a professional stand up comedian and actor. During the festival Tom will work with TY students introducing them to the power of language and helping them discover their own comedic voice. Curator, art historian and writer Catherine Marshall will launch our Visual Arts Programme and give a short introduction to this year’s visual artists.

This year’s festival features a vibrant mix of music, comedy, visual arts, literature, performance, workshops, and family-friendly events – with something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to the festival, we invite you to come along, connect, and be inspired.
