Festival frolics for young and old

CHILDREN’S festival organisers in Waterford will be finding out who’s nautical and who’s nice over the coming days as the fifth annual Hullabaloo Festival kicks into action.

The family-centred event opens tonight and, with the Tall Ships Race just weeks away, there’s a distinctive nautical theme.

Tonight, Waterford’s 20 piece big band will enthral the audience with jazz, swing and funk at the Theatre Royal. The Opus Pocus show starts at 8pm and a limited number of tickets are still available.
