Rather Gather Fáilte Festivalito 2026

A vibrant, free and inclusive celebration of culture, nature and creativity in the North East Inner City embracing all communities.
“Fáilte” means “welcome” in Irish, and "Festivalito" means little festival in Spanish. We celebrate the spirit of welcome, inclusion, connection, languages and communities and our cultural heritage.

We're committed to celebrating our connection with nature and community.
We're proud to host Rather Gather Fáilte Festivalito in collaboration with Mud Island Community Garden, where nature, creativity, and community come together.

Together, we'll celebrate people, place, and culture while caring for our shared environment through sustainable practices, supporting biodiversity, and leaving no trace behind.

Rather Gather Fáilte Festivalito is a transcultural and multidisciplinary event for everyone, created collaboratively by the people who take part each year. Every edition is unique, shaped by the communities, artists, performers, neighbours, and collaborators who come together to make it happen. Rather Gather Fáilte Festivalito exists because of the people who take part: your ideas, creativity, energy, and presence help make the festival possible.

The event will include Performances, Workshops, Poetry, Comedy, Open mic, Bazaar, Art exhibitions, Food and Stands, Music, Jam sessions, and more!
