September in Drogheda will be bursting with festivals including the "Festival of Ideas" from 17th to 20th September, which invited you to voice a creative and positive change for Drogheda.

The Festival of Ideas invites communities, creatives, thinkers, and activists to reimagine the spaces we overlook — abandoned buildings, forgotten corners, and dormant infrastructures — as sites of potential and transformation.

Through thought-provoking talks, interactive installations, guided urban walks and collaborative workshops, the festival delves into the layered histories of neglected spaces and investigates their roles in shaping identity, memory, and possibility.
