River Shannon & Lakelands

One of the most memorable Irish experiences, this tongue-in-cheek championship is the muddiest event on earth. Activities include foot mud slides and bog bath racing.

For a small town, Carrick on Shannon has produced many persons of note. The local historical society presents a hearty feast and an occasion to learn more about the region's famous ancestors.

This festival is a joyful celebration of the region's flavourful food and the lush green fields which produce it. Experience a mouth-watering blend of Asian, Indian, Mexicanm Mediterranean and Central European cuisine.

Experience the wild beauty of East Clare by joining guided tours or a boat trip to Holy Island.

Haunted forest walks and a fancy dress ball open the gateway to the other world at this unique festival. Artisan food and craft fairs are part of the old-world atmosphere. Parades and fireworks close up the feast.
