Limerick Riverfest

A citywide festival, Limerick Riverfest, occurred over this past bank holiday weekend (yeah, they have a bank holiday for the first of May…what?). I only made it down to the festival on Saturday evening, but I had an incredible time. There was a free open air rock concert, BBQ, a huge street party right outside the Locke Bar, and a firework show over the River Shannon.

 I went to the festival with Dance Club friends, but by the end of the night we had made loads of new friends. The town was filled with people and after the fireworks, we went from pub, to pub, to club, just to meet up with all the other friends we had out that night and inevitably make more. It was fabulous. I think this has been one of my most memorable days in Ireland.

I’m so excited that most of these dancers will be in the States this Summer for school or work, so I can visit them. And, I'm banking on coming back to Ireland to visit them too.
