This year’s Carlow Arts Festival offers a diverse programme that spans music, visual and performing arts, theatre, dance, spectacle, and literature.

European artists will blur the boundaries between art forms at the VISUAL stage, with the Irish premieres of BodyBodyBodyBody from Belgium's Dag Taeldeman and Andrew Van Ostade, Ioanna Paraskevopoulou’s MOS from Greece, and Benjamin Kahn's Sorry, But I Feel Slightly Disidentified... in collaboration with Dutch performer Cherish Menzo.

At O’Hara’s Quarter, enjoy performances by Irish hip-hop artist Jafaris, multi-instrumentalist John Francis Flynn, and genre-defying Æ MAK on the Main Stage, and Carlow's finest music talent on the O’Hara’s Live & Local Stage. Plus much more across the weekend.
