BE  PART  OF  THE  ART.......

Wicklow Arts Festival takes place annually in May in the beautiful harbour setting of Wicklow Town. Now in its seventh year, the Festival has grown with the town to become an important cultural fixture in the calendar with audience figures rising steadily year by year.

 For 2010 the Festival will be running over four days from Thursday 27th to Sunday 30th May.

There will be plenty going on for all ages and tastes including music, artisan market, dance and theatre with internationally renowned performers featuring in the Festival.

This year we will explore our first ever "sustainability" theme which will celebrate the many local arts, crafts and environmental resources that abound in our beautiful County Wicklow, the Garden of Ireland .

We look forward to seeing you in May!
