Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr Francis Foley said: “The Riverfest BBQ is a truly enjoyable event each year and creates a fantastic atmosphere on the boardwalk. It is hugely entertaining to watch some of the interactions between the BBQ teams and the visitors as they sample the food that has been prepared right there in front of them. Don’t miss out on getting your team registered and be part of the fun this year.”
