Marvellous night for a Moon Dance at Skibbereen Arts Festival

Funding for the Skibbereen Arts Festival doubled this year, just in time to help the annual event celebrate its ten-year milestone.

Festival co-founder and director Declan McCarthy, speaking at the festival’s opening moon-themed fancy dress street party, said the budget increase, from €10,000 to €20,000, meant a significant gain for the festival.
