"European Capital of Culture" is not a festival, it is much more. Galway 2020 is the culmination of decades of artistic effort and investment in the culture of this city. It is the culmination of everything that has gone before and a springboard into a future with a better cultural infrastructure and increased awareness and appreciation for the role of culture and cultural actors in society.
This year is intended to provide locals with extraordinary opportunities to create and participate in something that surpasses their wildest expectations.
