“Beimid ag caint, ag canadh, agus ag ceiliúradh faoin spéir.” - We’ll be talking, singing, and celebrating under the sky.

A magical experience in the Gap of Dunloe awaits as Rewild Festival returns for another year.

The event, which is a day to celebrate wellness, will run on July 12 over the course of a full day.

Taking place in the Gap of Dunloe, it will run from Saturday at 12.30pm until 1pm on Sunday.

There are endless activities taking place which include house yoga, music, local food and a craft market which will run into Sunday afternoon.

Organisers of the event are inviting people to gather beneath the trees and stars for a day of reconnection, celebration and creative expression – all while leaving a light ecological footprint.

Sustainability will be at its core with reusable cups, free tent camping and regular free shuttle buses from Killarney available on the day.

Jiggy, who fuses Irish tradition with global beats, The Circus Ponies, Efa O’Neill, Emmet Condon and Shiels are among the musical line up.

The festival offers spaces for creativity, connection, talks and movements with festival go-ers being given the chance to enjoy workshops, sound baths, cacao ceremonies and Reiki sessions.

Fireside storytelling and songs are also on offer which will allow people to deepen their sense of community and connection.

There will also be a nature-themed dating app on offer that weekend as attendees can avail of Timber, an app developed by a group of local women.

The app will allow people to connect with the natural world around them as Timber invites users to match with plants instead of people – a great way to connect with nature!

An Autism-friendly area and physcare will also be available to provide a calm, supportive space for those who need it on the day.

Kevin Leahy is the organiser of the festival, and he promises an unmissable day of dancing, art, wild nature and many more surprises at the Gap of Dunloe.
