Kieran Healy is our MC, and he will be bringing the craic. Tony from a Time to Party will be there with bouncing castles and magic shows. Lily MacMonagle from the MACademy will have workshops, dance classes and face painting. Our fabulous food vendors will be there serving up a storm. We'll have firm Fermoy favourite John Mount of the Yellow Submarine, Killarney's own Chad Byrne of the Hungry Donkey and the very popular Fishbox! Muckross Creamery will be serving up delicious dessert afterwards. There will be live music from the talented young musicians from the Killarney School of Music and Donal Lucey. Don’t forget to bring your teddy bear – the ultimate picnic pal!
