Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival

21st May - 30th May 2010

Welcome to Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival. The 9-day festival has taken place annually throughout Dumfries and Galloway at the end of May for over 30 years.

The founding aim was to bring international performers of the highest quality to a region containing many scattered rural communities that would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience such talent. Since then, this region has produced some of its own talent of international standing and the Arts Festival is proud to be able to present these artistes from time to time.

Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival offers a wide range of events: music – including classical, jazz and folk, dance, theatre, literary, children’s events, plus the visual arts and films. The growing number of children’s events in recent years plus a revitalised literary programme added to the strong music, dance and theatre tradition has, we believe, enhanced the programme on offer.

Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival events take place in a range of venues throughout the region, from large to small, formal to informal, urban to rural. Over the years, the Festival has secured a loyal and valued membership, who make a vital contribution to our programming capabilities.
