Each year in the month of May, Bealtaine is presented as an annual nationwide festival celebrating the arts and creativity as we age. The festival is an initiative of Age & Opportunity, the national organisation that promotes active and engaged living as we get older. Tipperary Arts Office together with colleagues in the Library Service present an extensive, interactive programme throughout the county.
