Ranelagh Arts Festival 2025: A Celebration of Community, Culture, and Creativity

The Ranelagh Arts Festival 2025 returns from May 8th to 11th, offering a vibrant celebration of local community, culture, and creativity. Designed to foster a strong sense of togetherness while honoring Ranelagh’s rich history and dynamic arts scene, this year’s festival promises a memorable experience for residents and visitors alike.

The festivities will kick off with an exciting Opening Night at No. 6 on Thursday, May 8th at 6 pm, featuring a special performance by DJ SHREM. A beloved figure in Dublin’s underground music scene, Shrem’s genre-blurring vinyl sets will set an energetic tone for a weekend brimming with music, art, and fun.

Sandford Church will be home to two standout concerts: the internationally acclaimed soprano Celine Byrne will grace the stage on Friday evening, while the uplifting sounds of the Ranelagh singers followed by Gospel Choir Rejoice and special guest Jess Kay, will inspire audiences on Saturday night.

Throughout the festival, a wide array of events will offer something for everyone. History enthusiasts can join a fascinating historical walk, families can enjoy the lively Family Fun Day, and film buffs can indulge in a curated program at the Ranelagh Film Festival.

For theatre lovers, there will also be a series of new play readings, showcasing new talent and ideas.

Adding even more flavor to the weekend, the festival will feature a Comedy Night, Wine Tasting and Cocktail Making sessions for those looking to unwind, and a fun-filled Dog Show that promises to be a highlight for animal lovers.

With its diverse lineup of events, Ranelagh Arts Festival 2025 is set to be an exciting, inclusive, and unforgettable celebration of the arts and the enduring community spirit of Ranelagh.
