Alternative Kilkenny Arts Festival
The Alternative Kilkenny Arts (AKA) Festival, a volunteer-led community arts festival that takes place each year. AKA brings you a robust programme of events taking place across the city and county for twelve days in August.
We are very excited to bring you into the dynamic world of music, art, craft and more. We urge you to indulge in our programme full of amazing artists, crafts and performances which we hope has something to suit everyone’s interests.
AKA promotes collaboration, cultural enrichment, and a vibrant artistic network – through the works of over 100 artists each year. Deeply rooted in community engagement, the festival enhances Kilkenny’s cultural landscape while embracing innovative ways to connect with you.
