We are planning a special festival to celebrate 30 years of Baboró. As well as an exciting programme of performances, exhibitions and workshops throughout the city and county, audiences can expect free festival events on the streets of Galway and an expanded schools touring programme.

We look forward to sharing our full festival programme later in the summer and celebrating 30 years of Baboró together.

Just before our festival preparations ramp up over the summer, we take a moment to look back on all we did last year, and all those who helped make it possible.

2025 was a particularly busy year for Baboró as we delivered several creative projects in schools and communities throughout Galway, in addition to our annual international festival. These projects allowed us to reach more children and deepen our engagement with them, their parents and community.

Thank you to our brilliant Children’s Panel, artists, volunteers and Board of Trustees. And to the teachers, parents, guardians and of course children who bring our work to life!
