About Us

 BE PART OF THE ART!

Wicklow Arts Festival is a volunteer led event that takes place annually in May in the beautiful harbour setting of Wicklow Town. Now in its ninth 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 2012 the Festival will be running over four consecutive days from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th May. There will be plenty going on for all ages and tastes including music, artisan market, poetry & workshops with internationally renowned performers featuring in the Festival.

We look forward to seeing you in May!
