Join us 24th – 27th October 2025
The much-anticipated Lú Festival of Light returns for its fourth spectacular year, lighting up Drogheda from 24th to 27th October. A vibrant celebration of ancient mythology, this year’s festival promises an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Inspired by Ireland’s legendary tales, the 2025 edition will bring to life powerful stories from Cú Chulainn & Ferdia, The Morrigan, and Queen Maeve’s Tain march, alongside a shining tribute to the remarkable people and achievements of Drogheda. Through breath-taking light displays, immersive installations, and captivating light and sound performances, Drogheda’s streets will be transformed into a living canvas of story and spectacle.
“We’re thrilled to invite locals and visitors alike to experience the magic and meaning of Lú, to bring the excitement and energy to the town this October” said Trevor Connolly of Love Drogheda BID. “This festival is more than just light—it’s about illuminating our heritage, our heroes & heroines, and our future.”
Thomas McEvoy, Deputy Chief Executive of Louth Count Council welcomed the longevity of the festival, “Lú Festival has become a highlight in Louth’s cultural calendar, and we’re proud to support it for the fourth consecutive year. This October, the festival promises to captivate audiences once again with powerful stories from our legendary past while shining a well-deserved spotlight on the town of Drogheda. We look forward to another exciting celebration of our rich heritage, creativity and community spirit and see what new events this year festival will bring.’
Ryan Vail of Visual Spectrum added “Lú Festival of Light transforms Drogheda into a canvas of light and imagination. At Visual Spectrum, we design moments that stop people in their tracks, where story, technology, and place come alive. It’s not just a festival it’s a new way of seeing the town.”
Lú Festival of Light 2025 is set to be the premier urban animation and lighting event in Ireland this year and will deliver dazzling displays, rich storytelling, extraordinary street performance and immersive atmosphere within the town.
