Sligo’s Bealtaine Festival begins with a dawn chorus and expands into a county-wide celebration of creativity and care

This May, the annual Bealtaine Festival which celebrates creativity in older people, unfolds across Sligo as a connected, county-wide celebration. Sligo County Council’s Arts Service Department plays a central role in shaping and delivering Bealtaine locally in partnership with Sligo’s arts venues, organisations, libraries and the HSE, working closely with artists and creative practitioners to present a vibrant series of events.
