The exciting programme launches on Monday, 29 July. It will feature a series of free events to coincide with the city’s annual Race Week.
The Cultural Capital will come to life at the end of this month as Galway launches an exciting ‘Summer Vibes’ entertainment program.
The program will include local bands, traditional music sessions, and acoustic sets. It coincides with Race Week, one of the busiest weeks in the city.
The events are free to attend and will take place over a three-day period, both before and after the Galway Races.
A summer of entertainment – plenty for all to enjoy
The Galway Summer Vibes entertainment program will run from 29 to 31 July. It is scheduled to kickstart Race Week in the city.
Alongside live performances from talented musicians, the program will also include fashion showcases and various family-friendly activities.
The fashion showcases will be hosted by fashion entrepreneur and stylist Mandy Maher. They will take place between noon and 3 pm on Monday and Tuesday.
Encouraging attendees to shop locally, the showcases will highlight Galway’s retailers. So, expect to see some great pieces from the city’s best boutiques and jewellers.
Embracing the pub culture – soak up the city’s lively atmosphere
Diageo has also partnered up with pubs around the city to ensure they offer a ‘top-tier’ experience throughout the week. Meanwhile, local restaurants will be keeping guests satisfied with a delicious ‘pre-race lunch’.
Speaking on the ‘Summer Vibes’ event, Chairman of Galway City VFI (Vintners Federation of Ireland) Johnny Duggan said:
“It is another great initiative where the various City Centre areas come together to let people know that the City Centre is open for business and with plenty to see and do, whether you are a Race-goer or not.
“There is such a great array of pubs in Galway, all within walking distance, with lots on across the city in all areas.”
