Heading into its seventh year in its current incarnation, and drawing on a rich history of arts festivals and celebrations in the North Cork town, Mallow Arts Festival is serving up a programme of music, film, performance, conversation and family fare, largely involving members of the local community.

Beginning as a tentative step into the viability of a full-time arts centre in Mallow town, the festival has assembled a dedicated committee of local creative workers and facilitators as the Mallow Arts Collective, overseeing arts events and opportunities throughout the year.
