30 things to do in Galway this weekend

Planning your weekend in Galway? Start here. We pulled every event from Friday to Sunday — all 30 of them — argued about them like we always do, and landed on the five below.

The spread is health & wellness and performing & visual arts, with Saturday stacking up 7 events — the busiest day of the three. 10 of the weekend's events are free.

If you're the plan-ahead type: make Friday your anchor day (14 events), then build the rest of the weekend around it.
