Festival of The Fires 2012

The dawn of May will see Ireland illuminated as Festival of the Fires returns with very special guests drawn from the worlds of art, culture, heritage and music. From its Hill of Uisneach Epicentre, the festival will spread to communities across the country with over 100 hills all across Ireland uniting to welcome in the summer.

The main festival takes place on the Hill of Uisneach, with a unique festival village featuring three musical stages, food & beverage villages, art installations, heritage trails, guest lectures, comedy, spoken word, debate, hundreds of horsemen and women, arts and crafts, and of course a spectacular night-time Fire Parade led by the multi-award-winning Luxe group from Donegal.

Musical guests will include the some of the brightest names, and the diverser musical line-up which will be revealed over the coming weeks.

Arts, Culture and Heritage - Reignite your passion with Festival of the Fires!
