The Wexford Drama Festival is a vibrant celebration of theatrical arts held annually in Wexford, Ireland. Since its inception in 1963, the festival has become a significant event in the cultural calendar, showcasing the best of amateur theatre. With a commitment to promoting the richness of dramatic expression, the festival features a variety of genres, from classic plays to contemporary works, all performed by talented amateur drama groups.
