Smithfield Creators Festival: Supporting Grassroots Artists

The Smithfield Creators Festival, held on August 12th, aims to provide a platform for local, unsigned artists to showcase their talent. The festival, organized by passionate individuals with a background in the culinary industry, incorporates skills such as time management, stress management, and organization. With two stages hosting a diverse range of acts, including metal bands, pop artists, and poets, the festival offers a variety of genres and styles. The goal is to give artists a space to be seen and heard, while also ensuring they get paid for their talent. This grassroots festival, supported by Rascals Brewing and IACARE Ireland, aims to create a supportive community for artists and promote the importance of valuing their work. Tickets are available on Eventbrite for 25 euros, providing an opportunity to support local artists and enjoy a day of music, crafts, poetry, and food.
