The Theme for this years Midleton Arts Festival is Art in Climate Change. The committee hope to deliver the festival through creative connection using their passions and talents to create a more positive future. We are committed to high standards of practice both in artistic and participatory engagement.

The festival is a vibrant, welcoming and creative opportunity for all people from Midleton, both locally and internationally to participate in the cultural life of our community, expressing and celebrating their creativity. We will provide opportunities for participants to connect, learn, act and reflect through creative processes. The festival embraces and showcases all facets of the arts such as film, fine art, sculpture, music, literature, poetry and drama. The ongoing purpose of the festival is to normalize the practice and exposure of the arts in our community. Moreover, we will promote artistic practices as a catalyst for change, and as a positive medium for self expression and reflection.

The Midleton Food and Drink Festival  became FeastCork in 2017. It epitomizes the new food culture that has developed in Midleton, combined with a truly remarkable extravaganza of fun. Its ethos is to develop the Festival into a magnificent flagship showcase of the highest standard in Ireland.

Set in the undulating and bountiful countryside of East Cork, Midleton has become southern Ireland’s hub of culinary excellence. With a long held and world-renowned reputation for whiskey making traditions and more recently, its fine Farmers Market, Midleton is a perfect setting for our Food and Drink Festival. The rich resources of the surrounding farmland and the wealth of excellent seafood available from nearby Ballycotton has made the Festival a celebration of its authentic and locally produced fare!
