About

Westival is the oldest music and arts festival in the West of Ireland. 

Originally called the Westport Arts & Music Festival, it was founded almost 50 years ago by a group of local volunteers who wanted  to showcase the flourishing arts and music sector in the west of Ireland.

Its purpose is to widen the community’s field of experiences through engagement with the arts, engendering positive societal change and social cohesion in our area.
