Please Note: Pop-up performances take place daily throughout the Festival (excl. Thurs 15 Oct and Tues 27 Oct).
Now one of the Festival’s most eagerly anticipated traditions, our Pop-Up Events bring bursts of musical and artistic magic to unexpected corners of Wexford.
Featuring WFO artists in spontaneous moments of song and theatrical flair, these surprise performances transform everyday spaces into stages, inviting audiences to encounter opera and the arts in the most joyful and welcoming way.
These events are a celebration of the remarkable town that has embraced the Festival for generations. Streets, shops and public spaces become part of the performance, turning the town itself into a stage and creating a shared experience that is unique to Wexford.
An essential part of the Festival atmosphere – keep your eyes and ears open!
