Rialto Community Arts Festival

This event has ended

Rialto, Thursday 20th June - Sunday 23rd June

A brand new community driven arts festival in the heart of Dublin 8. Welcome to the Rialto Community Arts Festival! We’re not like other arts festivals. There’s no ‘big names’ involved with this, just grassroot groups and people, all based in or around Dublin 8.

Dublin 8 is home to an amazing range of talented people, from photographers and weavers, to poets, authors and film-makers. The Rialto Community Arts Festival is here to shine a light on these amazing people, while inviting our neighbours to see just what Rialto has to offer.

What began as a conversation between a couple of people quickly turned into an idea. Thanks to the help of Fatima Groups United in the F2 Centre, Dolphin House Community Centre and St. Andrew’s Community Centre, as well as help from the City of Dublin Education and Training Board and Dublin City Council Arts Offce, our festival was born.

Myra’s Story

Gaiety Theatre

Direct from London’s West End and the four-time smash-hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, Myra’s Story tells the unforgettable tale of a middle-aged homeless alcoholic struggling to survive on the streets of Dublin as she begs from passers-by on the famous Ha’penny Bridge.
