I saw a post on Facebook about an airshow taking place in Foynes on Sunday the 17th. Has it been held previously? Worth a look? Cheers.

I'm going to miss it but this weekend in the South Court, they are hosting a Diecast Model Show and I think the folks from Brick are going to be there. Should be an interesting event.

Nice idea. Let's hope there is some diversity of opinion.

I think I'm just writing to myself in this thread

The monthly Limerick Speakers Corner continues on Saturday 1st July, 1pm at Arthurs Quay Park. Last month, we actually had a speaker giving out about internet forums so hopefully there will be lots of boardies along this month to counteract this :pac:

Basically a pub session for anyone who wants to go out and speak Irish for the night. It started off a few months ago and some great events have been held around the country ever since. There's no central group behind them. Just local people getting together and giving grown-ups a chance to practise their Irish in a fun social situation.

Would have loved to have gone to that, but it clashes with the February edition of the 'On the Nail' poetry night. >_<

As IO mentioned in another thread we could all probably make a bit more of an effort to spread the news when we see something is going to be on in the city.

With that in mind...

Limerick Food Group are hosting Urban Food Fest in the Milk Market tomorrow evening - food stalls, summer beats and free in!

The popular Urban Food Fest returns with a street food evening that will take place in the Milk Market on Thursday, June 14. Organisers are promising “one big Limerick city summer party” with a fiesta theme.

The first Urban Food Fest took place in 2016, organised by the voluntary Limerick Food Group, who are promising the historic Milk Market will be “transformed into a street food mecca” as producers, market traders, restaurants, and hotels come together for the food event.

“Come along and sample tasters from various stalls, savoury to sweet, hot and cold, all with a summer theme, and to a summery soundtrack of funky beats courtesy of live entertainment,” said Olivia O’Sullivan, a member of the organising committee.

“We are all about promoting local food and drink, and Limerick as a quality food destination, and this event showcases all of that. It’s a great experience and we have learned a lot since our first outing so this year it will be better than ever,” she added.

The event will have free entry and will operate a cashless token system – €15 for five tokens – and it will take place from 6pm until 10pm on June 14.

Something like this was on last year as part of the Pig Town thing IIRC, and it was pretty good.
