Galway gets set for a feast of culture

TALES of drunks, biblical mysteries and hurling are set for the stage while Jimi Hendrix, Albert Einstein and Che Guevara will take to the street.

The organisers of Ireland’s largest arts festival are promising a vibrant mix of homegrown and international drama, comedy, art and music.

Galway will be jumping over the next 13 days as hundreds of performers, artists, writers and musicians descend on the historic city for its 26th arts festival.
