Mother Tongues Festival

This event has ended

Various Locations, Friday 20th February - Saturday 21st February

The 9th edition of the Mother Tongues Festival is coming to Tallaght, taking place at Rua Red and The Civic!

Celebrating Ireland’s cultural and linguistic diversity, the Festival uses the arts to foster dialogue and inclusion in a joyful atmosphere.

In 2026, the Festival is woven together by the theme of The Power of Story. Stories are at the heart of how we entertain, inform, inspire and preserve cultural memory. They live within dance, drama, music and everyday conversations, shaping how we understand the world, ourselves and one another. By sharing personal and family stories, we not only connect across cultures but also strengthen bonds and nurture a deeper sense of belonging.
