The month-long Irish festival attracts people from all over the world looking for love, fun and a bit of ‘craic’. The festival is over 165 years old and couldn’t be more different from online dating services.

There’s music and dancing in every bar from noon to the wee hours of the night, and those looking for love can meet Ireland’s only traditional matchmaker Willie Daly in his ‘office’ in the Matchmaker Bar. Legend has it that if you touch his ‘lucky book’ with both hands, you’ll be married in six months! Enjoy joining 60,000 people from all over the world for a festival of music, fun, and love.
