Ideas that resonate in a place that connects

One of the most remarkable things about Killaloe Ballina is that it has long been a connection point – a place where for thousands of years, humans have been meeting, talking and connecting with each other.

Resonance Festival builds on that history to bring together people who are genuinely curious, who want to celebrate ideas. When you leave we want your head to be full of new thoughts and your heart full of wonder and joy. Which is what happens when you connect!

ABOUT
Resonance is a not-for-profit festival of ideas now in its 5th year. Next taking place  10 to 13 February 2027; at the cultural and historical crossing point of the River Shannon in Ballina Killaloe.
