Ireland's biggest international arts festival. This year they are celebrating their 50th anniversary! October 19th - November 4th 2012
From small beginnings the festival grew through the 1960s and 1970s, expanding to a two week long event. Performers during this time included Jimi Hendrix, Laurence Olivier, Rowan Atkinson and Billy Connolly.
The festival is held at many venues across the city, including the Mandela Hall, the Naughton Gallery, the QFT and the Whitla Hall at Queen's, as well as the Grand Opera House, the Waterfront Hall and the Cultúrlann centre.
