Highlights of Féile an Phobail



In case you missed this year’s Féile an Phobail was nothing short of amazing! In addition to sold-out concerts, literary, art, sport, and other events, Ireland’s biggest community arts festival grabbed the attention of more than 37 million social media impressions. Anyone watching the social media feeds could feel the joy and celebration of the festival coming through the short video clips of a crowd of 10,000 strong singing along together with the Wolfe Tones to close out the event.


Good news for those on this side of the Atlantic who could not make it: many of the talks, tours, and events are archived and available to watch online for free!


Below, you’ll find a few highlights, and be sure to check out the other lectures and videos available on the site: www.feilebelfast.com
