What's on / Cad atá ar siúl?
The festival spine of the Dingle year — verified dates for the Races, the Food Festival and Wren's Day, with the listings channels for everything in between.
Dingle's year runs on a festival spine — Féile na Bealtaine in May, the Races in August, the Food Festival in October, Other Voices in December and Lá an Dreoilín on St Stephen's Day — but the dates have never lived in one place. These are the ones we could verify on each event's own page, with the listings channels below for everything in between.

Where to find more
This page lists what we’ve verified, not everything that’s on. These are the calendars and accounts locals actually use:
- Other Voices — The December music weekend in St James' Church. 2026 dates were not announced as of June 2026 — they appear here first. Church tickets are never sold (they're given away via competitions and Patreon); everyone else follows the free Music Trail through the pubs.
- Féile na Bealtaine — The volunteer-run May bank holiday arts festival (the 2026 edition ran 30 April – 4 May). Next year's programme appears here.
- West Kerry Live — The free fortnightly magazine from Green Street — the de facto listings for music sessions, films and community events across the peninsula.
- Kerry GAA fixtures & results — Where Dingle GAA (county champions 2025, All-Ireland club champions 2026) and An Ghaeltacht fixtures are published — dates move too often for us to copy them here.
- St James' Church concerts — The small Main Street venue's own gig calendar, outside Other Voices season.
