Tortosa Irish English Festival 2024

Founded in 2013, the original idea of the Tortosa Irish English Festival was to create greater awareness of the English language for the people of Tortosa and Roquetes.

There are more than 3,000 people in this area with an interest in the English language if you include all the private language schools, as well as the Official Language School, primary and secondary schools, plus university students.

Many professionals in this region have knowledge of English, but do not have sufficient means to practice it. Then, naturally, the parents of these students who want their children to learn English as a means of improving their future job prospects. And on top of all this, there are a number of retired native English speakers who have settled in this area in the last twenty years or so.

The mayor petitioned in September 2012 seeking his support for an English festival. The mayor was highly praised for the Tortosa English Festival, saying it brought a much-needed cultural and fun aspect to Tortosa.
