WHAT ARE WE ABOUT?
Now in its third year, the Carlow Fringe Arts Festival is a vibrant showcase of quality local art brought to the streets, so that everyone in the community can access and experience it first hand. The festival runs over ten days, full of exhibitions, live music, poetry and storytelling as well as collaborative events where budding artists can join with the professionals to produce art on the street.
​
With funding from the Local Enterprise Office and Carlow County Council, the festival is run by a group of dedicated volunteers: artists and art lovers from the local Carlow community. We are also thankful to receive support, partnership and sponsorship from the Carlow business community.
​
The Carlow Fringe Arts Festival was held June 6th to 16th, 2019. For Fringe Festival 2020 details or other enquiries, please email the Fringe Secretary at CarlowFringeFest@gmail.com or follow @CarlowFringeFestival on Facebook and Instagram.
