Back in October 2016, Dubliner Catherine Barry and Irish Culture Bay Area teamed up to organize the first Irish Arts & Writers Festival in Los Gatos. The city was chosen for its many smaller venues and its 23-year relationship with sister city Listowel, Ireland, where Writers’ Week has been held for the past 40 years. This weekend, the festival returns for its third outing. Fifteen Irish writers and poets will come to the Bay Area to join their local counterparts for a weekend of performances, readings and discussion.
