Call for Fringe Event Ideas
We are inviting expressions of interest for up to 10 Fringe Events to take place alongside the Dingle Literary Festival 2026. The festival is taking place over the weekend of November 20th, 21st and 22nd. Apply here.
The festival weekend brings a large and engaged audience of readers, writers, and visitors to the town. We are keen to support a vibrant and diverse fringe programme that enhances the overall experience and creates an immersive literary atmosphere across West Kerry.
We want to create a rich, layered festival experience, where visitors can discover a wide range of literary and cultural events throughout the town.
If you have an idea that adds energy, creativity, and a sense of occasion to the weekend, we’d love to hear from you. Ideally morning events to avoid clashing with Dingle Lit festival.
