Last year I had the great opportunity to be involved with the Venice of Ireland festival in Monasterevin. An this year I am delighted to be involved again. This annual festival promotes the Town of Monasterevin in Kildare, known as the Venice of Ireland for its unusual numerous bridges and waterways. This year I not only get the chance to capture some stunning images but I also got to design the festival brochure, which despite an error on one of the pages turned out quite well. The festival will be held over the weekend of 12th – 13th July with a scaled down calender of events. For more information on whats happening you can check the festivals Facebook Page or on Twitter
You can also check out my posts from last years events with the following links. So with a certain guarantee of good weather next weekend why not stop by Monasterevin and say hello or join in on the activities for the weekend.
wonderful! So hopefully i have my next weekend planned. LOL
will be looking around for you 😉
Brilliant it will be great to see you there. Ill be the one with a camera stuck to my head all weekend lol.

Thanks, Ed, for your like on my blog. I had a look at your blog and enjoyed the photography. The Monasterevin festival looks like fun.

My pleasure Ester, hope to come back for more 🙂
Fascinating little town. I just read up on Monasterevin, spurred on to do so by your blogs on it.

This looks like a great place to be, Ed. It’s my husband’s birthday 12th July. This might make a nice treat 🙂
Sure is, once we get the weather, nothing to do with the fact that /I live there, honestly 🙂
Hello Ed, Thank you for liking my recent post on Ireland. I had no idea that there was another place in Ireland referred to as Venice (as well as Cork), so was very interested in your post about Monasterevin. I look forward to learning more about it.
Cheers,
Genevieve
Thanks Genevieve, So glad you liked it. It got the name due to the unusually high number of bridges in the town, with both the canal and river barrow to be crossed. Its been my home for the last several years and has a fascinating history, which I hope to expand on shortly, 🙂
