After two years of limited live experiences, we invite you to join us in person for the 2022 festival, presented in the grounds of Carlow College and across Carlow town.
Our programme includes music, circus, dance, theatre, visual arts and lots of fun, free performances and workshops for kids and families.
We hope that the festival is a chance to relax, to discover, and to celebrate together.
