Galway Festivals

Galway is renowned as being the festival capital of Ireland! Whether you plan to visit for the famous Galway Races,

the Galway Oyster Festival, the Clarinbridge Oyster Festival or one of the wonderful Arts Festivals, you are sure to enjoy

yourself.

The Galway Races are one of the years racing highlights and many people visit the races year after year. There are now

two Arts Festivals to add to the two Oyster festivals also. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to races or festivals in Galway

this summer!

Make sure to book your hotel and car hire well in advance around festival time, as Galway accommodation gets very

busy during the festival times. Accommodation for the Galway Races is always very difficult to obtain.
