Clifden Arts Festival History
For almost five decades, the Clifden Arts Festival has brought people together in the heart of Connemara to celebrate arts and culture. Now heading into its 49th year, Ireland’s longest-running community arts festival once again has a packed programme of events taking place throughout Clifden.
