Bealtaine Festival

This event has ended

Various Locations, Wednesday 1st May - Friday 31st May

Bealtaine is Ireland’s national festival which celebrates the arts and creativity as we age. The festival is run by Age & Opportunity, the leading national development organisation working to enable the best possible quality of life for us all as we age.

This year Age & Opportunity unveils an all-new festival theme, ‘Lust for Life’, which reflects a familiar experience for many older people. To celebrate the theme Bealtaine Festival has commissioned a new essay, ‘Lust of Life’, by writer, former Labour TD and Bealtaine Festival ambassador, Liz McManus, which explores the newfound vitality and appreciation for life that often accompanies later years. Bealtaine is seeking innovative ideas that capture the essence of this theme and invites participants to explore and celebrate the joy of living.
