WEST CORK FEEL GOOD FESTIVAL

wcfg

The Feelgood Festival takes place from 9th to 16th October 2026. The Arts Office are working with the festival to welcome a Danish contingent from ‘An Insanely Good Sunday’ festival to West Cork, as part of Ireland’s term holding the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Festivals are places for exchange – of ideas, stories, culture, food, music, knowledge and experience. We look forward to sharing some of what makes West Cork special, while listening and learning from our Danish visitors and exploring what our respective festivals might learn from one another.
