Carlow Arts Festival was bigger and better than ever this year. From all of us at Carlow Arts Festival, we want to thank everyone who helped make 2022’s festival such a success!
Our goal was to bring back a live, in person festival, packed with joyful and exciting collective arts experiences – we think we delivered on this but this is only possible because all of you came out in such big numbers to support your festival and share in this experience – THANK YOU!
