Each year in June, Carlow Arts Festival provides a carefully curated, truly eclectic, multi-disciplinary arts programme.
Comprising of local, national, and international artists, the festival presents work from a wide array of art forms including theatre, literature, circus, spectacle, music, dance, and visual arts.
For 2025 we have another programme of local talent, national stars, and Irish premieres of internationally renowned works, running alongside returning favourites and festival staples.
The programme brings together emerging and established professional artists from Carlow and across Ireland, Germany, Syria, Belgium, and Spain – presenting a multiplicity of voices and perspectives.
With a balanced offer of free and reasonably priced events, largely suitable for all ages, we hope Carlow Arts Festival is a chance to relax, to discover, and to celebrate being together throughout a vibrant week of visual art, live performance, and creative connection.
