In August 1993 the fledgling Bogside and Brandywell Development Association (BBDA) organised the first Gasyard Wall Féile on the Gasyard site. The intention was to create a breathing space for the local community and to raise the public's attention to and awareness of the potential that the site could offer to the community.

The first Féile was a very successful one-day event that has since mushroomed into an annual week long festival of arts, cultural and community organised activity.
