The 50th anniversary edition of Westival is set to take place from October 22-27, featuring music, theatre, comedy, visual art, and community events across Westport. The festival is one of Ireland’s longest-running arts festivals, founded in 1975.
The project is a tribute to the lives lost in Gaza and honours each individual through stitching their names into fabric.
