Invitation to launch of RCAF25

You are cordially invited to the launch of the Rialto Community Arts Festival Thursday May 8th in The Circular Bar, Rialto, 8pm – 9pm as part of the “Culture Date with Dublin 8” programme.

It will be headed by two talented locals, Chris Connolly (personal trainer/influencer) and songwriter Luke Clerkin will perform from his stunning debut album Orpheus. There will be a variety of performances of spoken word and music to give you just a small taste of what is in store at this exciting, inclusive little festival.

RCAF 2025, which takes place June 19th – 22nd, is promising to be bigger and bolder than last year with a line-up that is a vibrant and eclectic mix of visual arts, film, dance, music performances, comedy and spoken word events. There will be a timetable for a full listing circulated at the launch.

The launch on May 8th and RCAF are the result of an enthusiastic collaboration between local community centres (Fatima Groups United – F2, St. Andrew’s Community Centre and Dolphin House Community Development Association) and passionate locals who all want to see Rialto
