H.E.A.R.T. of Gort Festival May 17th & 18th 2019

Burren Lowlands CLG in partnership with ICOMOS Ireland, Galway 2020 and Galway County Council are delighted to announce an upcoming two-day festival be held in Gort Town, Co. Galway from the 17th - 18th of May 2019.

The community gathering represents a culmination of our consultations and public meetings discussing and exploring sustainable development opportunities to support the continued growth and vitality of the town and its environs. Key priority areas include:

Developing a River walk

Accessibility & Amenity in the Public Realm

Town Building Repair & Use

Delivering a Town Festival

The project joint funded by 2020 and the County Council, has built considerable momentum through active collaboration amongst community groups in the local area. These relationships have made the delivery of the festival programme possible with an exciting range of participants contributing towards the two days. Highlights include:

The promotion of the town market with food and craft vendors from the locality and surrounding area.

Open historic buildings, where a selection of landmark and private properties will be open at set times showcasing the vibrant and living architectural heritage of the town.

An exhibition illustrating the core messages of the consultation processes from across the community and collective perspectives on built and natural spaces.

A guided river walk discussing the vision articulated during discussions to develop an amenity area and the central role of environmental and cultural heritage in achieving these objectives.

A showcase of the performing and literary arts reflecting the rich legacy and resulting emerging and innovative cultural scene in the town.

Burren Lowlands, the community in Gort and our partners look forward to welcoming you to the town for this weekend of exploration and discovery.
