About the Festival
The Festival of World Cultures is an annual international arts and culture festival that celebrates the vibrancy and diversity of artistic traditions. The Festival programme focuses on the representation of innovative and developing artistic practice from around the world. It aims to develop both national and non-national audiences’ experience of the arts, challenging perceptions of international artistic culture through a dynamic programme of concerts & club nights, theatre and dance performances, fairs, markets & exhibitions, circus, workshops and master classes.
As the Festival of World Cultures moves into its seventh year, it is firmly established as a pioneer of new audience development and an event that works closely with communities, groups, organisations and individuals on many levels ranging from performances to volunteers. Evidence of this exchange was demonstrated last year when audiences in the region of 200,000 celebrated day and night-long in the 40 packed out venues throughout Dun Laoghaire town.
