I can't find very much about this online and the official website still doesn't have much information. Is anyone familiar with this festival? We're thinking of going for 2 days (nights). I do think it would be very cool (as a person coming from the US and all this being new) to attend a trad music festival in Ireland. We also want to see the Burren and towns around there (2 nights?). But we're ambivalent.
Some questions:
Will feel too crowded that it's just overwheming unless you're super into trad music - we're interested of course, but I wonder if we will get our "fill" with pubs over the course of a whole month. (I realize this is a subjective opinion.)
If we do both things, would it be better to split the 4 nights between Ennis + a nearby town, so as to avoid traffic and crowds in Ennis if we're just getting out of the city in any case? (Even though our usual preference is to stay longer in one place.)
Thank you all!
