* Féile an Phobail

'Féile an Phobail was established in 1988 as a direct response to the conflict in the north of Ireland.
Its purpose was to celebrate the positive side of the community, its creativity, its energy, its passion for the arts, and for sport. It furthermore aimed to provide events and entertainment at a price that the majority of the community could afford ... Féile an Phobail has grown from a one-week festival to being the largest community arts festival in Ireland with a year round programme of events ... It provides a programme of arts, cultural and community-based activities throughout the year with its flagship festival, the August Féile being the highlight of Ireland’s festival calendar.
