Limerick Literary Festival

Friday 27th February - Sunday 1st March
  • Kate O'Brien Limerick Literary Festival

The Limerick Literary Festival in honour of Kate O'Brien will run on February 27th, 28th and March 1st at the Belltable, OʼConnell Street, Limerick.

The event continues to honour the life and works of the Limerick author, Kate O’Brien while attracting prominent participants from all over the world. It originally started as The Kate O’Brien Weekend in 1984 to mark the tenth anniversary of her death. We continue to celebrate the legacy of Kate O’Brien each year and her impact as a writer 42 years later.

Building on this significant history, the Limerick Literary Festival seeks to promote Limerick nationally as a place of literary excellence and to provide a platform where readers can meet their favourite authors and other readers.

The festival is generously supported by the Arts Council, Limerick City and County Council Festival and Events and the Arts Office, the French Embassy in Ireland and RTÉ supporting the Arts.
