Ballaghaderreen Arts Festival CLG

Ballaghaderreen Arts Festival Company Limited by Guarantee is the charitable organisation that brings the annual Ballaghaderreen Arts Festival to life. Based in the vibrant town of Ballaghaderreen, the company curates a three‑day celebration of the visual, performing and literary arts, showcasing talent from the local community, across Ireland and from abroad. By drawing on home‑grown artists, the Ballagh diaspora and a network of supporters, the festival highlights everything from theatre, music and painting to the often‑overlooked artistry found in sport.

The Festival’s core services include programming a diverse line‑up of performances—such as the Celtic Tenors, Sharon Shannon & Guests, and comedy nights—selling tickets through an easy‑to‑use online platform, and offering a range of festival merchandise, from premium t‑shirts to limited‑edition signed Giclée prints. Funding is bolstered by the Local Enterprise Office’s Trading Online Voucher Scheme and a roster of generous sponsors, ensuring the event remains accessible and sustainable.

Through its inclusive programming and community‑focused approach, Ballaghaderreen Arts Festival Company serves residents, visitors and artists alike, reinforcing the town’s reputation as a thriving hub of cultural excellence.
