Unbeatable Location

Right in the centre of Galway City, the Garden's Eyre Square location means you're just a stone's throw from major GIAF venues, including the brand new Festival Gallery on William St and a short walk to the Town Hall Theatre, Black Box and Heineken Big Top.

Eyre Square is also one of the stops for the Galway City Sightseeing Hop-on / Hop-off bus tour.

Public transportation is also easily accessible. If you're joining us by bus or train, the Festival Garden is located just a few minutes from Galway Rail Station and Galway Coach Station.

Your Weekend Hub

Here's a tip: the middle weekend (19-21 July) will be particularly lively, so be sure to pop down. Here's just a taste of what's on: the return of The People Build, acrobatic performances by Les P'Tits Bras, and the unmissable Guru Dudu Silent Disco Walking Tours.

Morning until night, be sure to include the Festival Garden in your plans this July.
