The First Fortnight Team look forward to welcoming you to our festival 2025.
We cannot wait to connect with you, our audience, and after months of planning, we want to share the stories we have seen, heard and experienced with some remarkable artists. We are keen to hear your responses as you attendfestival events, what will you choose? Will you experience Dublin at dawn, sing along with Mary Coughlan, create your own mini placard or hear our new special First Fortnight Choral Commission as it lifts your heart and spirit?
We are on a mission to challenge the stigma of mental health and we do this through platforming artists who tell us their stories, our stories, and open up conversations. Change is possible, change for the better is possible, come with us and be part of that positive change.
