About Us


The festival is now in it’s 14th year and has gone from strength to strength over the years with the participation of both primary and secondary schools throughout Galway City and County.
This festival could not take place without the generous support of our local companies, education and government agencies who continue to sponsor the festival year on year and to whom we are most grateful.
