Croí na Féile

This landmark year, we invite you to the heart of it all.

Croí na Féile (pronounced kree nah fay-leh) – Irish for the Heart of the Festival – is a glittering fundraising gala celebrating 75 extraordinary years of artistic excellence, community, and the warm and welcoming spirit of Wexford that has always been central to our identity.

Expected to be a highlight of the 75th season, an international constellation of stars will grace the stage. Ermonela Jaho, Joseph Calleja, Daniela Barcellona, and Giorgi Manoshvili - featuring the Wexford Festival Opera Orchestra conducted by Daniele Callegari - will perform glorious music by Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi and more.

Tickets range from €75 to €750, ensuring that everyone can be part of this special celebration. For those who wish to play a deeper role in shaping the Festival’s future, Patron Tickets at €575 and above include a charitable donation in support of our work. Patrons will also receive a signed commemorative print and enjoy a rare and memorable invitation to step onto the stage following the performance for a champagne toast with the artists. This intimate moment is a chance to stand where so many extraordinary performances have taken place.

Every ticket purchased sustains our artistic ambition, nurtures emerging talent, and ensures that Wexford continues to shine brightly on the world stage for the next 75 years.

Join us for what promises to be an unforgettable evening. Celebrate with us and support the heart of the Festival.
