The 13th annual Ennis Street Arts Festival takes over the medieval market town of Ennis for seven days from 2 to 8 July 2026. This year’s theme is Urban Wildlife, celebrating the creatures - bees, bats, hedgehogs - that share the town’s habitat. The festival’s headquarters is the Ennis Market Building, where workshops, lantern-making sessions and open events run throughout the week. The festival culminates in a street parade and family performances bringing the Urban Wildlife theme to life across the town centre. The majority of events are free to attend.
Ennis town centre is walkable from the main Bus Eireann and train station on Station Road. By road, Ennis is on the M18 motorway, approximately 30 minutes from Shannon Airport.
