Féile na Gréine hits the streets of Limerick this weekend – A Guide

Cathal Ryan

Limerick’s homegrown not-for-profit, community-focused, volunteer-led festival, Féile na Gréine, hits the streets of Limerick this weekend filling the Treaty City with some of Ireland’s best emerging and experimental music.

Running since 2018, the DIY festival takes place across venues, pubs, art spaces, and streets of Limerick City from August 23rd to 25th.

The stacked line-up over the weekend includes Belfast Rockers Junk Drawer, electronic sounds from Emmy Shigeta, some Sunday morning Reggae Yoga, The Bonk playing a genre-bending set, Tandem Felix, and many more across the three days.
