Culture Date with Dublin 8 2026

We were delighted to host a fantastic series of events at St. Andrew’s Community Centre in May as part of Culture Date with Dublin 8 2026! 🌟

The launch of the Rialto Community Arts Festival 2026 programme brought together the local community for a brilliant evening filled with great chats, performances, music, dancing, nibbles and drinks — all building excitement for this year’s festival, taking place from June 18th–21st.

This collaboration between RCAF and Culture Date with Dublin 8 featured an Open Mic evening alongside wonderful dance performances inspired by this year’s festival theme, Songlines of the City.

We also loved welcoming everyone to Irish Dance Fitness with Roma — a fun and welcoming beginner-friendly session where participants learned easy-to-follow céilí steps, enjoyed an energising workout and tried something new in a relaxed atmosphere 💃💚 Huge thanks to Roma and her class for bringing such amazing energy to the building!

It was wonderful to see so many people coming together to celebrate creativity, culture, movement and community here in Rialto
