Tender for Services to Programme, Develop, Produce and Promote Ireland’s Púca Festival

Fáilte Ireland-National Tourism Development Authority

Fáilte Ireland’s strategic mission is to support the survival and drive the recovery to maximise the sustainable economic, environmental, cultural and social contribution of tourism to Ireland. It recognises the important role of festivals in giving overseas visitors to Ireland a unique opportunity to experience the very best of our culture, people and place and deliver brilliant visitor experiences.
The ambition for this project is to develop a high-quality, large-scale international festival to celebrate Ireland as the original home of Halloween which began as the ancient tradition of Samhain - the Celtic New Year. The festival will motivate overseas visitors to Ireland at off-peak times and disperse tourism to areas outside of hotspots in line with Fáilte Ireland Strategy.
