Friday has finally arrived, the weekend is calling, and somehow... Galway is still basking in a heatwave! ☀️

We don't know who ordered this weather, but we're certainly not sending it back.... Summer is absolutely peaking, the pints are ice cold, the tunes are flowing, and the Festival Garden Tent is the place to kick off your weekend 🎶

See you from 11am-10pm every day here in the Festival Garden Bar !
