This milestone edition will unfold across Ireland throughout the month of May, offering an expansive lineup of performances and activities that champion generational interdependence and diversity. From beautiful poetry to comedy showcases and immersive storytelling experiences, attendees can expect a diverse array of events that embrace the Bealtaine Festival theme, “Lust for Life”, inspired by the Iggy Pop classic hit.
