What's On In Galway - March 2024
With March comes Springtime, brighter days, and the promise of even more events and activities than we had last month. As always, there’s a great array of things happening across Galway, and this guide has you covered with lots of the information you need!
FRESH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
March 7
As part of the Fresh International Film Festival, the Connaught Regional Final is taking place at Omniplex Galway on March 7th. Some of Ireland’s best and brightest young filmmakers will have their works screened on the day, and it’s a terrific chance for movie-lovers and budding filmmakers to experience what the next generation are already starting to film and direct.
CASH RETURNS - LIVE
March 8
Join JP Mac and Karen Martin for an evening inspired by Johnny Cash and June Carter. This pair of incredible talents will do justice to two country music legends with authentic and stirring renditions of some of Cash and Carter’s best-know hits. Everything from Walk the Line to Ring of Fire is sure to be played on the evening as you enjoy wall-to-wall hits at the Town Hall Theatre.
SIX NATIONS LIVE - IRELAND V ENGLAND
March 9
Head to the Eye Cinema, just a five-minute walk from The Connacht Hotel to watch Ireland take on England in Six Nations action. Andy Farrell’s men will look to maintain their 100 percent record this campaign as they aim to secure yet another title. Will you cheer the men in green on as they go for glory in this historic clash?
THE SECRET OF KELLS
March 10
Relive this animated classic as The Secret of Kells returns to the big screen at Pálás Cinema. This is a fascinating story that was an Oscar nominee in 2010, so you just know you’re in for a colourful and immersive treat here. It’s a little bit spooky and not for everyone (especially for some little ones), but there’s a reason it’s often called one of the best animated movies of the past 25 years.
GALWAY UNITED V SHAMROCK ROVERS
March 15
Galway United were far and away the best team in the League of Ireland First Division last season, and there are high hopes that The Tribesmen can perform to a high standard in the 2024 Premier Division. The home side will be eager to clinch a win against Shamrock Rovers, and with the Eamonn Deacy Park faithful cheering them on, there promises to be a fantastic atmosphere.
THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY FESTIVAL
March 16-18
We’re expecting a big, dramatic, and family-friendly experience with all the incredible floats, talented performers, and amazing storytellers on show throughout. This is always a fantastic time – just be sure and get in early to secure a good viewing position along the route. And remember to bring your brolly and a warm coat just in case the weather turns. Plus, there’s plenty more excitement around the city across these three magic days of fun!
AN AUDIENCE WITH LIVERPOOL LEGENDS
