Brigidsfest Frankfurt

The Consulate’s St. Brigid’s Day celebrations will take place on 4 February, as part of a wider Brigidsfest Germany tour.

Brigidsfest, the popular Irish literary festival hosted yearly at the Embassy of Ireland in partnership with Literature Ireland has been growing since the inaugural Brigid meets Berlin in 2019. This year authors will go on tour! Starting from the Consulate General in Munich, writers will travel to the Consulate General in Frankfurt and finish in the Embassy in Berlin, presenting and discussing their new works.

We are looking forward to welcoming Wendy Erskine, Vona Groarke and Cathy Sweeney to Stadthaus am Markt for the Frankfurt leg of the tour. These three accomplished Irish authors will take part in a discussion and Q&A session, after which attendees will have the opportunity to meet the authors and get their books signed.

Since 2018, Irish Embassies and Consulates across the world have marked St. Brigid’s Day by celebrating the creativity and remarkable contribution of Irish women across the world.
