SeaFest, Ireland's national maritime festival, takes place this year in Galway Harbour from 30 June to 2 July. The SeaFest programme of events include a seafood fair, seafood cookery demonstrations with celebrity chefs and seafaring family fun.
Come along to discover all about our ocean – from how we explore, to shipwrecks and creatures of the deep. There will be tours of ocean going vessels, leisure craft and boats, exhibits on marine life and all manner of festival entertainment for all ages.
SeaFest is a key part of Harnessing our Ocean Wealth: An Integrated Marine plan for Ireland (HOOW) and its goal of increasing participation and engagement with the sea. SeaFest also hosts the annual Our Ocean Wealth Conference on 30 June and other business and research events.
It has quickly become one of the most popular summer festivals in Ireland. The majority of events are free – however, a small number of events may require pre-booking for capacity reasons. www.seafest.ie
