Munster Rugby and Lions star

“There is a massive buzz and a great social scene here. My rugby friends in Cork and Dublin think Limerick is brilliant; there are so many students and young people. You look at Limerick the weekend of a Munster game, you could nearly take a holiday here in the middle of winter from a Friday to a Sunday evening, it is just an incredible weekend.” Read more by Paul O’Connell

Highlights

Limerick Riverfest

Friday 4th - Monday 7th May
Limerick City

Riverfest takes place in Limerick City during the May bank holiday weekend. It is the festival that really has something for everyone with fashion shows, live music, street performances, headline bands in the Big Top and art workshops.

The Great Limerick Run is also on to coincide with Riverfest and one of the highlights of the festival is the Great Limerick International BBQ.

This unique event has grown enormously and is a fantastic fun event where professionals and amateurs show how to BBQ over hot coals with samples for the people attending.

The ever popular international street market has grown to enormous proportions over the past six years and developed as one of the busiest street markets around. So come along to Riverfest 2012 for music, craic and a whole lot more!
