Ireland County Galway Galway
Galway
A vibrant cultural hub on Ireland's west coast, known for its arts scene, medieval history, and as the gateway to the scenic Aran Islands.
Tips from the community
Okay, you may just know of Galway from its famous namesake songs, “Galway Girl”, but this seaside city in Ireland is seriously cool and definitely deserves recognition outside of Steve Earle and Ed Sheeran. The theme of this Galway’s festivities is ‘Diversity,’ so get ready to feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy. Galway’s parade will feature an array of community, cultural, sporting and international groups, including Ireland’s pioneering spectacle theatre company, Macnas.
Highlights: Cheering as Galway’s iconic fountain in Eyre Square turns green, enjoying a special outdoor classic Irish movie screening at the famous Spanish Arch, and hitting the pub scene on Quay Street.
Pro tip: Galway is located right on the water. The morning after your night on the town, soothe that headache with a stroll along Galaway Bay. Everyone knows that the best cure for a hangover is a good coffee and some fresh ocean breeze.
