    Something to do with the launch of a whiskey trail, or glorified pub crawl I think. Launch is being done by macnas

    More likely the Galway Pride Festival - I don't think they have the Oyster Festival until September.

    It is an interpretative dance display celebrating the continuing contribution of swans to the Corrib estuary

    It was for a 'Whiskey Trail' promotion, performed by Macnas.
    It wasn't a 'fireworks display', rather flares & fireworks going off at the end of a theatrical piece (with a band). Earlier there was a mini-parade with drummers and characters who went in and out of a few pubs too.

    I happened upon it. The Macnas guys did a great job as usual.
    Tbh, I thought it was part of the pride festival.

    might have to have Macnas under the Consumer Protection Act, vicariously liable for their staff; we were told there'd be a firework "display"! :)

    LOL! Fair enough :)
    In fairness they may have condensed the explanation down to 'fireworks display' - I did hear a few of the long version descriptions though, but shorter is better!
