The Ritz Hopeful For A Better September As Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival Gets Underway

Every September, Lisdoonvarna comes alive for its legendary Matchmaking Festival and The Ritz brings its own celebration to the heart of the festivities.  From midday each day, the ballroom is filled with country music and dancing, featuring some of Ireland’s top country bands and keeping the party going well into the small hours.  With this year’s festival promising to be bigger and better than previous years, the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival officially kicks off today.  Heather Crowe, Director of The Ritz Lisdoonvarna, joined Alan Morrissey to tell us more about what’s in store.
