MIC FemFest 2024

MIC FemFest is a biannual festival run by a committee comprising members of academic, professional services and student communities.

The festival consists of a schedule of events celebrating the social, cultural and economic achievements of women. It also seeks to highlight the many challenges still experienced by women, with a view to stimulating dialogue around the ways in which these challenges might be addressed.

MIC FemFest 2024 ran over three days from 5-7 March across the MIC Limerick and Thurles campuses.

The week-long event, held at MIC’s Limerick campus, showcased and celebrated the works of Irish women at a national, regional, local and institutional level. The week-long line up was born of cooperation between staff and students, as well as external academics and community groups, and delivered something of interest to everyone.
