Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival goes pink this weekend

ONE of the world’s oldest and boldest matchmaking festivals is turning ‘pink’ this weekend.

Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking festival, which has been on the go for over one hundred years, is set to host singletons from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) community for a weekend of fun and frolics.

The Outing, which runs from Friday to Sunday, will mark the opening weekend of the month-long festival which traditionally sees thousands of single men and women descend on the small town of just over 800 people in search of love.
