The latest set of photographs, currently uploading, documents the Dunlaoghaire Festival Of World Cultures which took place towards the end of the summer season.

The Festival of World Cultures is an annual international arts and culture festival celebrating the diversity of artistic traditions from all over the world.

The dynamic programme focuses on the representation of indigenous and traditional to innovative and developing artistic practice from around the world. The programme features concerts and club nights, theatre and dance performances, fairs and markets, exhibitions, talks, workshops and master classes.

With over 70% of the programme free to the public and through an extensive marketing campaign that focuses on developing new community audiences, the Festival undertakes to provide accessible performances and activities for all ages.

The Festival focuses on innovative and developing artistic practice. The Festival brings performances and activities directly to many who would normally be unable to encounter international arts practices and opens up new and alternative experiences to many who would not normally seek them.

Responding to the changing demographic of Ireland , the Festival aims to enhance artistic expression and integration for Ireland 's newer communities by providing a platform for intercultural creative exchange.

The Festival challenges preconceptions, expanding the arts experience of both national and non-Irish-national audiences, broadening perceptions of international artistic culture.
