The La Touche Festival of History
This annual event celebrates historical narratives, heritage, and culture. Named after the prominent La Touche family, who were influential in the development of North Wicklow, the festival typically features a range of activities, including lectures and workshops. It aims to engage the community and visitors with the rich history of the Greystones and Delgany area, national discourse of cultural and political importance and promoting education and appreciation for historical events and figures. The festival often attracts historians, scholars, and history enthusiasts, creating a vibrant atmosphere of learning and exploration. An annual event not to be missed.
