Venue: Sligo Town & County
"The Bealtaine Festival Sligo celebrates creativity in older age. Throughout May hundreds of older Sligo people partake in the wide range of creative pursuits from dance to cinema, painting to theatre and song to storytelling. Bealtaine showcases the talents and creativity of both first-time and professional older artists.
It is a chance for people to make new and challenging work, a chance to communicate traditions between the generations. It is a chance for the novice to discover a talent until then unseen and a chance for a long-dormant skill to find a new outlet."
