Kaleidoscope Festival Strengthens Community Connections for 2026
Kaleidoscope presented by Glenveagh has always been about bringing families together through music, creativity and shared summer memories. For 2026, the festival is expanding that spirit beyond the festival gates, introducing new initiatives designed to support local communities and families across Ireland.
From helping schools and clubs raise vital funds to partnering with a leading homelessness charity, Kaleidoscope presented by Glenveagh is deepening its commitment to community impact. The festival is proud to announce Dublin Simon Community as an official charity partner for 2026.
Throughout the festival weekend, the organisation will be supported through on site fundraising and awareness initiatives that highlight the vital services it provides for people experiencing homelessness. The partnership aims to shine a light on the importance of community care while encouraging festival goers to support organisations making a real difference.
Community Free Ticket Programme
As communities across Ireland face increasing pressure on resources, Kaleidoscope presented by Glenveagh is introducing a new initiative that will provide free festival tickets to schools, community groups and local sports clubs for use in fundraising raffles.
These tickets can be offered as prizes to help organisations raise money for activities, equipment, trips or community projects. By providing high value prizes that families genuinely want, the initiative is designed to give grassroots groups a meaningful boost when it comes to fundraising.
For many local organisations, raffles are an important way of supporting everything from school programmes to youth sports. The chance to win tickets to Ireland’s favourite family festival adds excitement while helping important community work continue.
Any school, club or community group interested in taking part in the free ticket support programme is encouraged to get in touch.
