Bronntanas 2026

Fáilte go dtí Bronntanas 2026!

Is féile ealaíne í Bronntanas a cheiliúrann na féidearthachtaí, na deiseanna agus na buntáistí a chruthaíonn an Ghaeilge do pháistí agus do theaghlaigh.

Ritheann an fhéile ón 14ú Meán Fómhair go dtí an 4ú Deireadh Fómhair, agus ní gá go mbeadh Gaeilge fhoirfe agat chun páirt a ghlacadh. Le linn na dtrí seachtaine, cuireann Bronntanas níos mó ná 70 imeacht saor in aisce ar fáil fud fad Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Cuireann Cara Dunne tús leis an bhféile i Leabharlann Bhaile Uí Ógáin ar an 15ú Meán Fómhair le ceardlann phórtráidí - Tarraing do Chara. Ar an 27ú Meán Fómhair, má tá spéis ag do theaghlach i spóirt uisce, ná caill amach air Eachtra na dTonnta - Cadhcáil as Gaeilge le Moontour i gCuan Dún Laoghaire. Ar an lá deireanach den fhéile, beidh deis ag teaghlaigh rince Gaelach a fhoghlaim le linn Céilí Cáit in Ionad Pobail Chill Chrois ar an 4 Deireadh Fómhair.

Mar chuid lárnach den fhéile, beidh Dúshlán Teaghlaigh 21 Lá ar siúl. Gach lá,  gheaobhaigh teaghlaigh gníomhaíocht bheag, phraiciticúil a spreagfaidh iad chun an Ghaeilge a fhí isteach ina ngáthiamh laethúla. D’fheadfadh sé a bheith chomh simplí le cúpla focal nua a úsáid ag an mbord i rith an dinnéir, cluiche beag a imirt trí Ghaeilge, nó scéal a léamh trí Ghaeilge.

Réidh le pairt a ghlacadh? Tá na himeachtaí go léir saor in aisce, ach tá áirthint riachtanach do chuid acu. Féach ar an gclár iomlán thíos chun do chuid imeachtaí a roghnú agus d’áit a chuir in áirithe.

Welcome to Bronntanas 2026!  

Bronntanas is an arts festival that celebrates the possibilities, opportunities and benefits that the Irish language creates for children and families.

The festival runs from 14th September to 4th October, and you don’t need to have perfect Irish to take part. Over the three weeks, Bronntanas offers over 70 free events across Dublin. A wide range of events are taking place during the festival. From art workshops, plays, live music, water sports and storytelling, there is something for every age group and every interest.

Cara Dunne kicks off the festival in Ballyogan Library on September 15th with a portrait workshop -Tarraing do Chara. On September 27th, if your family has an interest in water sports, don’t miss out on Eachtra na dTonnta - Kayaking in Irish with Moontour in Dún Laoghaire Harbour.  On the last day of the festival, families will have the opportunity to learn Irish dancing during Ceilí Cáit in Kilcross Community Centre on October 4th.

As a central part of the festival, a 21-Day Family Challenge will take place. Each day, families will receive a small, practical activity that will encourage them to integrate Irish into their daily lives. It could be as simple as using a few new words at the table during dinner, playing a little game in Irish, or reading a story in Irish.

Ready to take part? All events are free, but some require a reservation. See the full programme below to choose your events and book your place.
