Name : Galway Oyster Festival
Type : Festival
Creation date : 01/09/1954
About : The Galway Oyster Festival has evolved from very modest beginnings. In September 1954, 34 guests attended the very first Oyster Festival Banquet. The idea presented itself when in 1953, Brian Collins, manager of the Great Southern Hotel was facing a bleak September with a deserted hotel.

Brian was mulling over the challenge of filling his hotel by extending the tourist season into September when the head chef recommended that oysters be included on their menu as they had just come into season. Eureka! Therein born the idea of celebrating the opening of the oyster season with a festival and the creation of what is now regarded as one of the most celebrated and longest running festivals in the world.

Creation date : 01/01/2009
About : Galway Theatre Festival provides an opportunity for emerging local and national theatre companies to showcase new and revised work. The inaugural Galway Theatre Festival was directed by Andrew Flynn and produced by the Galway Arts Centre. The Irish Times Culture magazine listed the festival as one of the highlights of 2008. Last year's box office success was testament to the local support for the arts and the festival could not have happened without the support of the Galway community.
This year’s Galway Theatre Festival is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
