Welcome to Carlow Arts Festival 2025
Join us in the grounds of Carlow College, St. Patrick’s and at VISUAL from Wednesday 4 to Sunday 8 June.
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.
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.
Our only piece of advice – take a chance. See the act you’ve never heard of. Indulge in the art form most distant from your usual tastes. You never know what you might find. We hope you enjoy, and we look forward to seeing you around the festival.
