About Fiestaval
Fiestaval Street Arts & Circus Festival is funded by DCC Arts & Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.

Expect 1 jam-packed day of unrivalled excitement and entertainment from master magicians, spectacular sword-swallowers, amazing acrobats, surprising stilt-walkers and a cracking-up comedian host - for all ages to enjoy.
Fiestaval Street Arts & Circus Festival is all about creating magic moments - a tonic to the rollercoaster of a year we have all just had. Escape the ordinary with immersive live shows in a vibrant colourful carnival environment celebrating the rich, dynamic and diverse creative culture of circus, street arts, comedy and music performance that thrives across Ireland. Promoting joy, energy, sociality and wonder, the mission of Fiestaval is to bring smiles to faces.
