Kerry festival featuring top musicians and cultural events promises to be ‘magical experience'
'Rewild' will be held in a beautiful forest at the old Gap of Dunloe Golf Course near Killarney on Saturday, July 12. Up to 900 revellers, foodies and culture enthusiasts from across the county and beyond are expected to go to the one-day event. Those who attend will be able to witness performances from talented local and international musicians, including folk band Jiggy, 90s dance and R&B collective The Circus Ponies and house and techno DJ Shiels. Talks on rewilding and the Irish language, a host of engaging art and markets offering a range of quality food will also be major features of the event. Organiser Kevin Leahy told The Kerryman the one-day festival will be a phenomenal day. 'There will be loads of art on display. It will be a magical experience,' Mr Leahy said. 'The location and setting are outstanding. It's a small festival that has developed authentically. It's eco-friendly and it has a very small carbon footprint.' 'Rewild' has grown from the 'Eats and Beats' festival which started out as a pop-up event at various Killarney venues in 2021. Mr Leahy said the festival was rebranded this year to reflect the importance of rewilding, a subject close to his heart, and its scenic venue at the entrance to the Gap of Dunloe. The aim of the festival is to bring people together and help them to connect with kindred spirits to 'ground and rewild' themselves in an era of disconnection. Mr Leahy has urged those interested in attending to get their tickets now while they are still available. Tickets for 'Rewild' can be purchased for €70 each at Festival-goers can also avail of free tent camping when purchasing their tickets for the event. More information on the festival is available at
