Watch our highlights from week one of GIAF 2026
From the iconic sounds of Patti Smith to the larger-than-life Whale Street Spectacle lighting up the city, Galway has been buzzing from day to night. We’ve wandered around Sean Henry’s striking sculptures, soaked up the atmosphere in the Festival Garden, been captivated by Carnation, and have feasted on 5 star theatre. And we’re only just getting started!
Are you ready for week 2?
