Find official Galway Races dates and understand how the summer festival fits into the Irish racing calendar.
The summer festival
Galway Racecourse at Ballybrit is best known for its Summer Festival, a sequence of meetings with distinct daily themes and race programmes. The Festival dates page gives the current schedule, first-race times and event names.
Check the date and card
Festival dates can fall across late July and early August, but the exact calendar is published for each year. Confirm the meeting day on the official schedule, then open the racecard for runners and conditions. Do not rely on a previous year’s timetable.
Follow the wider Galway calendar
The venue also publishes autumn racing dates. Use the official event schedule for both periods, then connect to Irish racecards and racecard reading to understand each contest.
