Despite the fact that it has been quite wet, cool and windy lately to me Summer begins with Carlow Arts Festival in the town in early June. Arts Festival features a packed program bursting with fantastic events of visual art, music, spectacle, workshops, street food and much more.
There is great description on Ink Stains blog run by Emma Tobin:
''Carlow Arts Festival: the first big cultural event of the Irish Summer, runs from 7 to 13 June 2017. The festival celebrates its 38th year with a host of events taking place in Festival HQ at Carlow College, St. Patrick’s and VISUAL, as well as at local landmarks. Visitors can immerse themselves in national and international artistic adventures and world festival premieres

FORM Designmade in Carlow Craft Exhibition is part of the exciting Carlow Arts Fringe Festival program. I'm a member of FORM creative collective since its formation in 2013 and it is our second year exhibiting during the Arts Festival in Carlow Town Library. If you would like to see a range of skilfully crafted new inspiring work by our members including textiles, ceramics, sculpture and jewellery then don't miss this opportunity.
Across the street form FORM exhibition you will find a wonderful exhibition by Carlow Photographic Society. Great solo exhibition by Rennie Buenting at Deighton Hall is also well worth a visit.

I hope that you get chance to come and visit Carlow would it be during the Summer or other time of the year. Carlow definitely is a county worth discovering and exploring.
