Sult festival is an independent, community-owned and community-funded event.  Behind the scenes is broad community support, where landowners, volunteers, state agencies, sponsors and supporters work throughout the year and then come together during an intense July fortnight.

Gaoth Dobhair is a lively Gaeltacht area with a deep-rooted identity of Irish culture, language, and craic!  Sult aims to promote the Irish language and culture, providing a platform for Irish artists to showcase their talent with the Irish language being spoken on stage and throughout the festival enclosure.
