Celebrate National Biodiversity Week at Future Ancestor Athy on 16 May 2026. Set in the scenic Athy Library Grounds, this immersive festival by Blueway Art Studio and Doras na Feasa Collective honours the River Barrow through the myth of the Goddess Berba.

Experience a vibrant day of socially-engaged art, including Griese Youth Theatre performances and traditional music by Athy Comhaltas. Visitors can join ISL-supported ecology walks, interactive eco-workshops, and view unique installations like "Rafta Bherba." Grounded in the 16 principles of the Earth Charter, this free event connects local folklore with environmental action, inviting you to reflect on our legacy as "future ancestors" in a beautiful riverside setting.
