Resonance Festival is a not-for-profit, volunteer led festival that aims to connect and inspire. Co-founded in 2022 by Steve Coakley, Emily Ross and Carmel Doolan, this unique festival returns this September with a celebration of innovation, music, and wellness on the picturesque shores of Lough Derg.
Set in the stunning twin towns of Killaloe and Ballina, this two-day micro-festival, takes place on September 4th-5th with an eclectic line-up which features thought-provoking workshops, live music, and wellness activities. From the soothing strings of Portroe Cellist Gráinne Ó hUiginn to insightful talks by the likes of former Mountjoy prison governor John Lonergan and RTE meteorologist Evelyn Cusack; with the great showman himself Jerry Fish headlining the musical programme.
“Resonance is not just a festival; it’s an experience designed to ignite your imagination and create moments of human connection” says Steve Coakley, Festival Chair. “Expect to be inspired by innovation, and leave with a renewed sense of wonder.”
