Tonnta

Tonnta is a celebration of language and place!

Tonnta Festival in Galway City is a groundbreaking cultural celebration on St Brigid’s bank holiday weekend, emphasising bilingualism and its value to Galway and making the Irish language more accessible to a diverse audience.

Building on the incredible success of 2024, Tonnta returned from January 30th to February 2nd, 2025, with a dynamic lineup of events to inspire, entertain, and connect the community. As Ireland’s only bilingual city, Tonnta invites everyone—no matter your level of Irish—to embrace the language in a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

Since 2024, the festival has been produced by Milestone Inventive on behalf of Gaillimh le Gaeilge.
