When is the best time to visit galway during the summer?

Question

any music festivals, art exhibitions, shows, etc.?

Answer 1

The Galway races are on the last weekend of July, so the place is packed that week. There's a great atmosphere, but it's really busy in town.

The Galway Arts festival is on from the 17th to the 30th of July and it's brilliant. It's definitely a great time to go, even if the city is jammers, it's well worth it.

You'd have to be quick about booking accommodation though, the site below is a great hostel if you're interested.

Answer 2

in the Summer!

Answer 3

I went the first week of september one year abd the weather was fab. The oyster festival was great too.
