Celebrating Irish language and culture at festival 2026
A vibrant three-week family festival will showcase over seventy complimentary cultural events across the capital this autumn. The programme warmly welcomes both fluent speakers and complete beginners to enjoy diverse artistic and sporting activities.
The highly anticipated Bronntanas festival will return for twenty-one days of vibrant celebrations, running from the 14th of September to the 4th of October. Communities across Dublin will come alive with more than seventy free events designed to showcase the richness of the Irish language through engaging community activities.
Organisers have curated a diverse schedule that embraces participants of all backgrounds and abilities. Whether households use the language daily or individuals are merely starting out with their very first words, the programme offers an accessible and welcoming environment for everyone to connect with native heritage.
Locals and visitors can look forward to an enriching mix of arts, sports, support sessions, and interactive learning experiences throughout the autumn showcase. Further details and the complete schedule of activities are available on the official website.
