Welcome to Wainfest 2021.
Between the 2nd and 10th October we are serving up some cultural delights for children aged 4 - 12 years.
This year’s theme Blaze a Trail is a nod to one of Donegal’s most famous sons. Born into Irish royalty, Colmcille, also known as Columba or Columb, was destined to do great things. As part of Donegal County Council’s Colmcille1500 programme, the festival is proud to showcase his legacy and legend through its dynamic and varied line-up.
We're delighted to see the welcome return of some live events, all of which will comply fully with public health guidance to ensure everyone's safety.
We invite you to join us and Blaze a Trail this October and help us inspire the next generation.

Our selection of performers have influenced, inspired and motivated children across Donegal and all the while having great fun.
