Lisoovarna Matchmaking Festival has been cancelled due to Covid-19.
The event attracts thousands of people to Co. Clare every September.
Organisers have had to make the decision due to Phase Four being postponed, which would have allowed indoor gatherings of 100 people and 500 outdoors.
Marcus White, Managing Director of the White Hotel Group, has said,
"Social distancing would be impossible to implement at festivals like Lisdoonvarna where pubs and clubs are crowded and intimate dancing is one of the attractions for visitors."
However, Mr White also states,
"2019 was the busiest and most successful Lisdoonvarna festival ever and he is staying positive looking ahead to 2021."
So stay hopeful for next year's event!
