We are excited about this year and will have people returning from many parts of Ireland but also from the UK and many other countries. Last year we had revellers from Ohio, US, Germany, Birmingham, Belfast, London, Achill, Offaly and Scotland. We recorded the largest attendance to date with great feedback received from attendees.
