All Over Dublin!

Dublin City Council Arts Office is delighted to bring to you a range of over 42 free art events, readings, performances, film screenings and exhibitions to celebrate creativity in older age all over Dublin. This year’s festival has grown considerably through partnerships with arts specialists such as Coisceim Dance Theatre and Poetry Ireland and collaborations with local community organisations and will involve thousands of participants in events in every art form. 

The festival is part of Dublin City Council’s Arts office extended arts service to city communities. There really is something for everyone with a range of opportunities to get into the creative summer spirit. 

Taking its name from the ancient Celtic festival celebrating springtime, Bealtaine celebrates renewal, creativity and growth in ageing.  Bealtaine is coordinated by Age and Opportunity – the national organisation working to promote greater participation by older people in society.
