The Works Festival

C.I.E Hall , Friday 15th August - Saturday 16th August

The Works Festival is a grassroots arts festival jam-packed with the best of local music, poetry, dancing, and crafts at C.I.E. Hall, Inchicore, Dublin on 15th & 16th August.

Over two days, immerse yourself in music from instrumental funk band Chief Keegan, emerging Irish indie rockers Dominda, pixie-indie singer songwriter RVE, genre-melding Chase Nova Band, and folk artist Kenan Flannery, spoken word from noir writer The Vagabond Queen, writer, performer, and cultural consultant Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, ‘Make Ireland Grand Again’ legend Jimbo Dillon, and performances from so many more incredible artists.

Over the two days, take a moment to get lost in our Art Market featuring some of Ireland’s coolest artists and crafters (don't forget the craft beers).

On Friday come see the first LIVE Podcast from Slim & Light from 5pm

Get your dancing shoes on and come together for a Céilí, an Irish dancing experience like no other. Be there on Saturday to get into the swing of it!

This is a fully indoor festival so no need for wellies or rain coats. There'll be food trucks to fuel the merriment and the C.I.E. Hall's bar will be fully stocked and staffed (they are one of the cheapest pints around).

Doors open at 4.30pm both days and the last act begins playing at midnight.
