Lunchtime Gathering with Galway International Arts Festival at the Galway Chamber

For 46 years, Galway International Arts Festival has been delivering for Galway, with a multidisciplinary programme of live music, theatre, opera, visual arts, spectacle and discussion events that attracts hundreds of thousands of ABC1 attendances every July. 

 

It is the key cultural event on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, one of the biggest cultural attractions in Ireland in terms of attendance, a significant player in building ‘Brand Galway’ as a cultural city and supporting Galway’s reputation as a great place to live, work and play.  

 

In 2023, GIAF delivered an attendance of over 400,000, a number of major venue reconfigurations (Kingfisher, University of Galway, Printworks, Festival Gallery), its most ambitious dance & theatre programme ever (The Pulse, DruidO’Casey, Bedbound), an incredible music, visual arts & discussion line-up and industry-leading EDI and sustainability initiatives. 


 

In 2024, it is focused on continuing to grow and delivering even more for Galway, but it needs more industry support. Join us on Thursday, 7 December to hear how you can support and leverage this world renowned festival.
