Lisdoonvarna. The Matchmakers Festival is in full swing! All you single lasses and lads better hurry up and get there. The lonely hearts around the world are already yearning to be there in September when Cupid makes his annual showing.
Festival dates: August 31 to September 30.
This year there will be five brilliant weekends of merriment at the Lisdoonvarna Matchmakers Festival.
So... what's on in Lisdoonvarna
Lisdoonvarna hosts an annual Matchmakers Festival and draws singles from all over the world.
Each year, during the month of September, this small village on the western coast of Ireland offers a quest for the romance holy grail to hordes of lonely souls - the capturing of an Irish heart. Ah, 'tis a prize indeed.
Hormones run high during Lisdoonvarna's month of revelry and the locals grit their teeth while they stoically (and sometimes not so stoically) endure the debauchery.
If you wish to attend the festival, do make your plans early because accommodations in the village of Lisdoonvarna fill up quickly and you'll want to be in the mix of things when the activities begin.
The Matchmaker Festival is a spectacle to behold.
Women and men from all over the world flock to this bedlam in the centre of the haunting Burren to find the charms of an Irishman or the love of an Irish woman.
Unfortunately, many a lass may turn over a few limestone rocks to find only bog farmers who are overly-sensitive to bathing and these ladies soon discover they have set their sights a bit high.
In disappointment, they then focus their amorous attentions on fellow pilgrims who are, likewise, finding it's practically impossible to capture the heart of a beautiful Irish girl in Lisdoonvarna... in September.
This is the irony of Lisdoonvarna's Matchmaking Festival.
Any decent match with a real Irish person is better made in the pubs of Ennis or strolling along the beach in Lahinch because no self-respecting Irishman or Irishwoman would ever find himself or herself anywhere near Lisdoonvarna during the month of September.
The Matchmaker Festival is sort of a Brigadoon gone terribly terribly wrong.
However the lovely town of Lisdoonvarna is in the centre of the Burren and well worth the trip at any time of the year.
There are a number of pubs with traditional Irish music and the local B&B's will treat you like the kings and queens you are. Lisdoonvarna also has the only natural spa water in Ireland.
On the other hand, if you're wanting to settle for a smile with no teeth or you'd like to meet lots of other lonely travelers (and we do mean travelers), by all means, visit Lisdoonvarna in September and beat yourselves up at the Festival.
Fair play to the bog farmers for seizing their opportunity.
The truth of it is, you'll be in Ireland, lads, so there's always the Guinness. For the lasses, there is Michael. Have a look and see if he is the one you've always dreamed of! 
To be fair, the festival, itself, is brilliant, really. There will be dancing and horse racing and a great opportunity for mingling with singles from all over the world.
