One day Festival of Citywide arts & Culture
elementalSaturday 15th September
Elemental is a festival for the people by the people. A little over four months ago this was just an idea but through the extraordinary efforts of a talented
and committed voluntary team the idea has come to fruition. The all encompassing Arts and Culture festival will showcase the very best artistic and creative talent that Limerick has to offer. A day for all the family filled with fun, magic, entertainment and enlightenment, a festival like no other!
On behalf of the whole ELEMENTAL festival team we would like to thank our volunteers, sponsors and local authorities and finally YOU... the patrons without whom this festival would not exist. Your support makes the effort worthwhile. Let all of us make this year the start of something that will last long in the profile of Limerick. ELEMENTAL Limerick, it’s where the magic happens.
