About Féile Na Gréine
Composed of musicians, designers, photographers, and other creative practitioners, Féile Na Gréine began as a yearly music festival and continues to build a national reputation for championing Ireland’s emerging musical talent. The organisation’s operations are guided by strong-held beliefs in DIY culture, grassroots connections and inclusivity within the arts. As Féile Na Gréine has grown, so has its creative output, which now includes filmmaking and publications, all of which embody a fierce DIY approach.
Féile Na Gréine is supported by the Arts Council Festival Investment scheme, as well as Limerick Arts through Limerick City and County Council.
