The Bealtaine Festival forms part of Ireland’s national celebration of the arts & creativity as we age and runs throughout the month of May. The Festival returns to Fingal library branches for the first time in 2 years after taking place solely as on online festival during 2020 & 2021.

Fingal Libraries annual Bealtaine Festival was officially launched on Wednesday 20th April by Mayor of Fingal, Cllr. Seána Ó Rodaigh.
