FÉILE 2022
Féile 2022 ran from 13th – 20th August. Over 8 days in August, thousands of people from across the city and beyond came together in the Bogside, Brandywell, Creggan, Bishop Street and Fountain to laugh, dance, sing, debate, play, perform and celebrate everything that is great about these neighbourhoods where we live, learn, play, work, and visit.
Take a look at the highlight video of events below!
Féile 2022 would not have been possible without the support of our funders at The Executive Office, (Urban Villages & Communities In Transition), Derry City & Strabane District Council, Department of Foreign Affairs. Also, the invaluable collaboration of our many partners, groups, initiatives, volunteers and residents from throughout the Bogside, Brandywell, Creggan, Bishop Street and Fountain areas who came together to shape and manage this year’s programme of events. We couldn’t have done it without your help.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Féile’s latest Halloween film debuted last night! A Night to Remember follows the story of kids from Derry who, after a mundane night of trick-or-treating, try to rekindle some Halloween spirit. They decide to head to the Haunted House in Pilot’s Row, but what they find will turn out to be more than they’d bargained for…
Féile worked with local youth clubs to create the new film, including Bishop Street Youth Club, Pilots Row, Cathedral Youth Club and Youth First.
The film stars Lily-Mae McMenamin, Keanan Duffy & Lucia Macari, alongside a host of young talent from youth clubs across the Bogside, Bishop Street and Fountain neighbourhoods.
Thank you so much to Anna’s Cheeky Faces for the makeup and to Maureen Collins for her excellent portrayal of the old woman!
Quotes from Youth Leaders:
Jeanette Warke, Cathedral Youth Club:
It was lovely to see the young people all together. It was very moving and I would like to see more of this collaborative work!
Sibeal Duffy, Bishop Street Youth Club:
A beautiful event, and a great way to get our young people working together.
