Féile na Bealtaine, held annually on the Dingle Peninsula, has evolved from a tentative day-long event in the mid-nineties to a bursting-at-the-seams, multi-disciplinary arts festival with over 100 separate events over the course of five days.
It has become a vibrant, robust and well attended festival which explores the arts in its many manifestations, through creating social spaces not related to alcohol or its promotion, and through the relentless encouragement of local people into artistic endeavors.
Féile na Bealtaine is rooted in the distinctive, bilingual culture of West Kerry. This vibrant festival involves the whole community appealing to locals and visitors alike.
