Brigit

Community Arts Festivals & Events

Dublin City Celebrating Women is a city-wide celebration of women past and present inspired by the Celtic goddess Brigit.

The next edition takes place from Friday 31 January to Monday 3 Feb 2025.

Founded in 2022 with the support of the Lord Mayor’s Office, steered and funded by Dublin City Council, Brigit: Dublin Celebrating Women, honours the Celtic goddess Brigit, who embodies inspiration, healing, magic, smithcraft, wisdom, poetry, protection, fire and earth. Beyond nature’s reawakening, it is a time for new ideas and growth. This celebration showcases women’s contributions, past and present, with a city-wide programme spotlighting women’s stories, underscoring their immense impact on society and heralding the arrival of Spring.

The programme features a huge range of fun and educational events taking place across our city in honour of the fierce, wise and creative Celtic Goddess Brigit.
