Saturday 3rd July 7pm til late
Limerick’s first ever Mardi Gras Street Party is set to happen on Saturday 3rd July and it looks like it’s going to a fantastic addition to the city’s event calendar. The fun starts at with music on the main stage. The streets will  all become a pedestrian only zone for the night and drinking from plastic containers only will be permitted on the streets. Containers will be provided by all participating venues. There is a host of entertainment arranged for the day including a Carnival Parade, bands, Dj’s and an appearance from the award winning LUXe performers as they bring the true spirit of Mardi Gras through the streets of the Market Quarter. All of the local businesses involved in the organisation of the event which include The Bailey, Phil Flannery’s Bar, O Connell’s Bar, The Cuckoo Box, Smyth’s Bar & Icon Nite Club, Flannery’s Bar (Upper Denmark St) Angel Lane Nite Club & Molly’s will be offering something special on the night in the form of entertainment and some BBQ’s thrown in for good measure.
