The Bealtaine Festival | May 2026

The Bealtaine Festival is back for 2026, celebrating the creativity and voices of older people!

This year's theme is ‘Lust for Life’, and we would love to see the Clontarf community get involved. Whether you want to pop into town for the flagship arts events, register a local event for your own community group or apply for their open call for writers, there is something for everyone.

The festival team wants to make sure everyone can enjoy the fun, so they are offering a great 'Pay What You Can' model for tickets, alongside free events!

Head to bealtaine.ie to check out the full programme, book your spot or register a local Clontarf event. Let's get creative this May!
