Programme Imagine Arts Festival 2025

This October, Waterford comes alive with theatre, music, dance, literature, visual art and spectacle. The 2025 programme celebrates bold new voices and much-loved traditions, with highlights including Festival Artists-in-Residence Ksenia Parkhatskaya & David Duffy, our commissioned composer Phil Christie (The Bonk), and Waterford’s own Keith Dunphy with his acclaimed one-man show Word Against the Word. Join us as artists from near and far transform the city into a stage for creativity, conversation and celebration.
