Rialto Community Arts Festival 2026
The 3rd edition of the Rialto Community Arts Festival has come to a close, and what a weekend it was! Across Rialto, the festival brought together creativity, connection and community in a celebration of local talent and participation.
A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone who performed, facilitated and took part in the programme here at St. Andrew’s, as well as all those involved in events across the festival’s many venues, including The F2 Centre, Dolphin House Community Centre, The Circular, Ango’s Café, Café 44, Rialto Bridge Café, The Bird Flanagan, Dolphin’s Barn Library and Four Coffee Café. We also extend our thanks to everyone who stopped by to enjoy the live music on the roundabout and helped create such a vibrant atmosphere throughout the weekend.
Our sincere thanks also go to Dublin City Council and the local businesses whose support helped make this small but mighty festival possible.
To say the programme was packed would be an understatement. From workshops and performances to exhibitions, live music and family-friendly events, the festival showcased the remarkable creativity, energy and talent that exists within our community.
Most importantly, thank you to the people of Rialto for showing up, supporting local artists, trying something new, and returning to old favourites. Your enthusiasm and community spirit are what make this festival so special, and it simply would not be possible without you.
As we look back on another successful festival, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who helped make it happen.
