Che Guevara festival to prove a revolution

THE Cuban ambassador to Ireland will formally open one of the country’s more unlikely festivals of the year at the end of this month.

The west Clare town of Kilkee will play host to the inaugural Che do Bhetha festival on the last weekend of September, which celebrates the visit of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara to the town 50 years ago.

The ambassador, Teresita Trujillo, will formally open the three-day festival on September 30.
