About

Macnas has been creating performances in Galway for over 23 years. These performances have been created with the community, for the community and have formed the centrepiece of each year’s Galway Arts Festival. From the beginning, Macnas has combined this sense of community with a desire to produce work to the highest possible artistic standard.

The process starts with a simple idea and grows into an event involving over four hundred people. It engages a collective creativity that is exhausting, exhilarating, empowering and best experienced first hand.
