This event has ended

Various Locations, Monday 19th May - Sunday 25th May

The Bleeding Pig Cultural Festival started its life as a two day event in 2013 and has grown to be an award-winning festival which showcases local and national performers and artists over ten days in September on the stunning Donabate/Portrane Peninsula. The festival was awarded Fingal Community Group of the Year 2015 for Arts & Culture and were shortlisted for the LAMA awards in the Arts & Culture category 2018.

Starting this year, the festival will now take place in May instead of later in the year. This shift allows it to embrace a fresh season, bringing new opportunities for entertainment, community engagement, and cultural celebration. This change will enhance the festival experience for everyone, offering milder weather and a vibrant atmosphere in which to enjoy all the events planned.
