The Féile programme is packed with cultural, musical, sporting and community events.

This year’s Féile Derry includes over 150 events taking place at 60 venues across the Bogside, Brandywell, Creggan, and Fountain neighbourhoods and the city centre. 

Events do have to be booked and some do have a charge attached. But check out the full Féile programme of events at www.feilederry.com/feile-2025, it has all the information you will need.

Féile 2025 would not be possible without the support of The Executive Office, Derry City and Strabane District Council, Department of Foreign Affairs and the collaboration of the many groups, initiatives, volunteers and residents who have come together to shape this programme of events.
