Féile na Bealtaine 2023

Is í ról na n-ealaíon ná sinne a thabhairt amach as ár ngnáth-shaolta, machnamh a spreagadh agus ath-bhreathnú a dhéanamh, le cabhair ón ealaíontóir. In a changing and threatened world Féile na Bealtaine returns to give respite, provoke reflection, maybe action, and bring fun and frivolity to our community. 

Цей громадський фестиваль мистецтв хоче, щоб усі зібралися разом, щоб насолоджуватися та досліджувати нові культури. нам усім потрібна перерва від турбот!

Many of our contributors dwell on responses to the spiralling crisis in our natural environment. From Paul Kingsnorth who spawned a movement on this topic, to Eoghan Dalton who has nurtured a rain-forest in response to our community parade. In ionad “an Mhórshiúl” beidh Máthair na hAthchúrsála. This procession, which replaces the much loved parade of old, of a wheeled sculpture made from our own recycled bottles, will ask the whole community to take part by providing bottles, and help over the weekend in making it. Bígí páirteach leis! And come with your own recycled costumes!

Déanfaimis iarracht cur lenár dTimpeallacht. Use our excellent local link bus where possible, (we have indicated those out of town events that are served by it). Share lifts, bring your own keepcup, ceannaigh níos lú stuif, dance more, scaoil amach é, pé rud é! Labhraimis Gaolainn lena chéile. Bain úsáid as do chuid cúpla nó céadta focal you have, take the opportunity to learn a few more, or even dip into some Ukrainian! фестиваль відбувається англійською та ірландською мовами, але, будь ласка, не соромтеся поділитися з нами своєю українською!
