Ballina Fringe Festival is an artistic exploration of life lived on the edge of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way served up in a festival of words, art and music. The festival returns in pandemic-friendly form from 9-17th October 2021, in association with the Ice House.

Join us as we dip and weave our way though exceptional art, musical entertainment, historical discoveries, tales well told and lyrical words that dance through poetry outdoors, online and in intimate venues.

We know visiting might still be challenging this year, so we’re working on lots of outdoors and self-guided events during the festival, as well as some online events to whet your appetite!  In the meantime, why not browse our YouTube Channel and enjoy our past events or take a stroll and discover our stunning #PureBallina street art trail!

Our 2021 programme is now live – come join us for some well earned entertainment and fun in Ballina!
