Packed schedule of events at this year's Carrick Carnival

Carrick-on-Shannon is the place to be this June, as the town is hosting another Carrick Carnival Festival.
With over forty events throughout the town over five days there will be something for all the family, at night and by day.

The events kick off in style with Taste of Carrick with riverside food stalls, live music and an exciting air stunt show over the River Shannon.

And that’s just the first night!

Other events throughout the Bank Holiday weekend include workshops, shows, displays and river based activities.

Chairperson of the organising committee Sharon Garland said: ‘It is great to be back with another Festival of Events this year.

The emphasis again has been on a mixture of traditional and sometimes unusual events to showcase the best of what the town has to offer.

“We hope to attract large numbers of visitors to the town throughout the 5 days, and we hope the festival will have a positive impact on all businesses in the town and region’.

Sharon also went on to thank all the local business for their support for the festival.

“The committee would like to thank the many sponsors who again committed their resources to the event and to the many volunteers who gave up their time to help organise all of the events.

“The support we have received from local businesses and volunteers has been remarkable again this year and we would like to sincerely thank them for their contribution as without them the festival could not take place’’.
