Galway International Arts Festival is a major cultural organisation which produces a 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 national and international tours or presenting world-renowned discussion platform First Thought Talks, Galway International Arts Festival ensures that every experience is an unforgettable encounter. Rooted in the West of Ireland, 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 and between Galway and the world. From the all-out party atmosphere at the Festival Big Top to the quiet contemplation in the Festival galleries, the Festival transforms the city through the arts in an engaging, fun and authentic way. If you find yourself in Galway during the arts festival, expect to be transformed, too. The #GIAF25 Festival takes place 14-27 July 2025.
