Rialto Community Arts Festival Launch

Celebration of local musical & spoken word talent to launch the midsummer ‘Rialto Community Arts Festival’.

This event is free and will give D8 residents a taste of local talent that they can see more of in June 2025.

The first Rialto Community Arts Festival (RCAF) last summer was an outstanding success, proving that the area is overflowing with talent. The festival launch for RCAF 2025 will take place on May 8th in the Circular Bar, Rialto, as part of ‘Culture Date D8’. It will be headed by two talented locals, Chris Connolly (personal trainer/influencer) and songwriter Luke Clerkin will perform from his stunning debut album Orpheus. There will be a variety of performances of spoken word and music to give you just a small taste of what is in store at this exciting, inclusive little festival.

RCAF 2025, which takes place June 19th – 22nd, is promising to be bigger and bolder than last year with a line-up that is a vibrant and eclectic mix of visual arts, film, dance, music performances, comedy and spoken word events. There will be a timetable for a full listing circulated at the launch.

The launch on May 6th and RCAF are the result of an enthusiastic collaboration between local community centres (Fatima Groups United – F2, St. Andrew’s Community Centre and Dolphin House Community Development Association) and passionate locals who all want to see Rialto shine.

This event is supported by Dublin City Council, Dublin South City Partnership and Heritage Credit Union.
