The 18th Enniscorthy Street Rhythms Festival brings atmosphere to Slaneyside this weekend with a myriad of attractions to excite young and old.

Saturday’s family entertainment programme includes the Martina Dance Academy, Rathnure Pantomime Society and a kid’s disco.

Market Square will be buzzing with all types of dance from Jazz, Brazilian Dancer, Indian Drummer, South East Rock ‘n’ Roll Club on Sunday.

Join the magic of Fairytales in the Castle where the word is to come dressed in a Princess or Super Hero outfit! That’s happening on Sunday and there are prizes to be won.

Well-known environmentalist Éanna Ní Lamhna is taking a free biodiversity walk around the Orchard Peace Park at 11.30am on Saturday. Meet at the Presentation Centre.   

Topping the bill is the first ever Rhythm Rebels Dance Battle on Sunday at The Athenaeum Hall, bringing together dancers, dance schools, and hip-hop culture enthusiasts for an action-packed day of competition, creativity, and community.

Free Hip-Hop and Breakdance Workshops from 11am – 1pm for young people aged 8–18 years, giving them the opportunity to try these exciting dance styles at no cost.

The official Rhythm Rebels Dance Battle Competition should prove popular. An after-party with DJ Shaz, keeping the energy going into the evening with ten championship trophies for first-place winners.

Rhythm Rebels Dance Battle promises to be a fantastic celebration of dance, culture, and community, and a fitting addition to the Enniscorthy Street Rhythms Festival.

It’s all happening in Enniscorthy this weekend. A big programme of events, too many to mention here, but programmes are available.
