20 years of BUDA!
In 2026, the BUDA arts centre will celebrate its 20th anniversary, and we’ll be marking the occasion throughout the year, on the 20th of every month. On these evenings, we’ll raise a toast to what has been and what is yet to come. Come and join us for a drink at 7.30 pm and be enchanted by two performances.

To round off the festival and to mark the 20th anniversary of the BUDA arts centre, Lydia McGlinchey has created a celebration that blends clubbing, performance and installation. An impressive sculpture made of flax rotates like a luminous chandelier in the rotunda of budascoop. Two performers – clad from head to toe in raw flax – open the party. Like extravagant go-go dancers, they whip the crowd into a frenzy whilst the DJ spins records. An exuberant and irresistible birthday party!
