“What we sow here now today will bloom tomorrow…”
The beautiful voice and lyrics of singer songwriter Katie O’Connor opened the MOYA Festival on the Earthlings stage in the woodland at The Barna Way.
This reminds us of the importance of setting our intentions and vision for the future we want to B!
Then came the beautiful words of artist Jennie of High Luncheonette at Brilliant Ballybunion Goes Wild!! This was our first public event and we had a magical evening celebrating food and music in the heart of nature with our community collaborators and their guests.
We are delighted to work with the talented Lily Toomey as a Creative Food Collaborator with Brilliant Ballybunion. For the last few days Lily has prepared the most amazing plant based food using as much locally sourced ingredients as possible from The Barna Way, Leagh Farm and Manna Organic, Tralee
Not only have we been nourished by her food, but also inspired by her research into Irish bogs.

It was lovely to see all the connections and collaborations with Lily, Jennie Moran (High Luncheonette) and Katie O’Connor music, weaving the web of creative talents connected to our wonderful town Ballybunion.
Thanks to Bob, Mike, Joe, Gerry, Hugh, Natalia for all your amazing work behind the scenes to create the forest venue and the spaces for people to gather
Thanks to Creative Ireland for funding our project and events through the Creative Climate Action Fund

Brilliant!
