Westend Theatre and Arts Festival

A bold, alternative festival in Galway celebrating theatre, music, art, drag, circus, comedy, and more in non-traditional spaces.

WTAF!? Is geared towards new and emerging artists and younger creative communities, with a rebellious spirit that disrupts the status quo. It's for the punk poets, DIY dramatists, rogue musicians, chaotic creators, and anyone who's ever felt like they don't fit the mould (or never wanted to in the first place). If you've ever been told your work is too ... different, too out there or doesn't 'fit' the box as per say , then this is your space.

WTAF? is a festival of the in-between spaces, the back rooms, the basements, the rooftops, the streets; the places where the underground art community hustels and bustles. We are turning alternative venues of Galway's WestEnd into a playground for the arts & whatever else you dream up.
